i dont like mac, but do they at least have boot from cd function, if so you may have downloaded a distro for the wrong architecture.

i recommend knoppix to find out if your system is compatible before wasting your time.

a distro of linux for mac im pretty sure would fall under the category of PowerPC.
there are many linux distributions that can easily be found by searching in google...
a couple are:
Debian
Fedora
Mandrake
Ubuntu

and the list continues, all you have to do is find the right one for yourself

but i thought that since DSL has not got any particular architecture and stuff, you cant find more software to add to it, and i dont htink you can install it either ?
