anybody here tried out Fedora 9 on an iMac?

[uncooldude]

I'm thinking of putting Fedora 9 on a partition on my old iMac monster. Any objections? Anybody here tried sulphur? Any bugs or problems to report?

I mean, I do realize that this is a yellowdog forum, but YDL ain't supporting the classic iMacs anymore, so....

What's a guy to do?

Possibly ask this question on the Fedora forums where it might get a non-snarky response?

Cheers,

I'm thinking it won't run so well, even if it does install and meets the minimum system requirements. Does it have a DVD drive?

The old iMac I had and have since given away was a G3-400 with DVD and it ran OK with YDL 5.0.2 installed.

I have Fedora 9 on my PS3 now, though it has been a pain so far ... pulseaudio at the root of it once again ( as with Fedora 8 ), and I read about issues with the new version of gcc, though I haven't tried compiling anything yet on F9, myself. See this post on fedoraforum.
