Linux-pmac is the (better)version of linux for the Power Macintosh and
clones.  Only runs on PCI based machines.  The linux-pmac kernel is a
monolithic kernel(less filling[memory] tastes great[faster], than MkLinux)
Pmac was also the first to support:
-floppy
-sound
-32bit X display
-IDE
-DEC "tulip" based cards

It is also now merging with Linux/prep and Linux for BeBox (basically, so
there's one ppc source tree)
