If you want a full distribution, also check out Yellow Dog Linux.

Their <a href="http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/resources/ftp_mirrors.shtml">download</a> section has a nice simple list of where to get it, and the "supported machines" list covers iMac as well!

I haven't used Yellow Dog myself, however. Does anyone else use it? Is it a good, full featured Linux distribution?

Also, Neo, could this be added to the FAQ section? I just noticed there is no information for Mac systems...

This document describes CipUX::Dog version 3.4.0.0 SYNOPSIS
use CipUX::Dog; or use English qw( -no_match_vars); eval { require CipUX::Dog; }; if ( not $EVAL_ERROR ) { my $dog = CipUX::Dog->new( { dog_hr => $dog_hr, object => $object, overwrite_hr => $overwrite_hr, } ); $dog->bite(); # exec files system command } DESCRIPTION
CipuX::Dog can be used as a hook for CipUX::Task. If CipUX::Dog is installed it can be configured by the administrator to execute commands triggered by execution of a given task. SUBROUTINES
/METHODS BUILD Create the Object, reads the config file DEMOLISH Removes the object bite Calls the dog to bite. execute Execute a command. my $return = $self->execute( { command => $self->l($cmd), cmdargs_ar => $cmd_args_ar } ); DIAGNOSTICS
This section list every single error and warning message that the module can generate (even the ones that will "never happen"), with a full explanation of each problem, one or more likely causes, and any suggested remedies. "The section "commands" is not defined in cipux-dog.perl for %s" The hash key 'commands' is not inside the configuration for a given dog hash key in cipux-dog.perl configuration. The problem might look like this: $cfg = { cipux_dogs => { create_homedir => { }, }, }; It can be solved by adding a 'commands' key: $cfg = { cipux_dogs => { create_homedir => { commands => { }, }, }, }; "Cannot execute [%s]. Please provide this command or change [cipux-dog.perl]. The error message was: %s" There can be different reasons for this message. It depends on the last %s. The following reasons are foreseen: "Command do not exist!" The command specified in cipux-dog.perl do not exist. You should copy, provide or write this command. "Command is not executable! (forget chmod +x ?)" The command specified in cipux-dog.perl exists but can not be executed. Either it has no executable flags or you have not the right to execute it. Check and/ro set the execution bit on this command or try do give you the right to execute it. "?" Other reasons not be able to execute the command might come from the system and will display after the message. "Can not close command %s" If the file handle can not be closed this message will be displayed. CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
CipUX::Dog requires a configuration file but no environment variables. It can be configured by cipux-dog.$ext, where $ext is a valid and capable extension from CipUX configuration space. The default configuration for CipUX::Dog is in: /usr/share/cipux/etc/cipux-dog.perl DEPENDENCIES
