i have not bought anything from them, so i can't vouch, but there prices
semm really reasonable (especially compared to local used comp stores that
try to sell old p200 systems for more than $100).

quite honestly i don't know what setup a powermac would use (50 pin or 68
pin, those are the two standards right?¿) so i'm not sure they'd have a
drive to suit you.., i've never used yellowdog so i don't know how compact
it is, but 500MB and you could get cramped really quick, open bsd recomend a
min of 375 MB for a basic PPC install w/ x11, so that doesn't leave much for
aps)

just my $0.02
