Which Linux for Mac G3 and Swarm?

[Jay Pringle]

I've been reading through last month's archived mails and been trying to
figure out which version of Linux is recommended for running Swarm 2.1.1
on a Mac G3.

So far it seems as though Mac OS X is out and that the contenders are SuSE
7.0 and LinuxPPC (presumably 2000).

On the Swarm download page, there are packaged binaries for SuSE 6.3
GNU/Linux x86 and LinuxPPC R5 (1999).  Would either of these be compatible
with their respective versions above, or will I have to build Swarm from
source?

I would obviously like the Swarm install onto the G3 to be as painless as
possible ;) and the linux environment to be as friendly as possible.  This
will be an objective C install only - no java.

All advice greatly appreciated
thanks
