MkLinux on a Performa 6320?

Has anyone ever done this before? It says its supported, but whenever I try to boot off the installation CD, it freezes. To be more specific, it starts to boot Mac OS, then it gets to the "choose your OS" window where you can choose to fully boot Mac or dissolve Mac OS and enter into Linux. When you choose Linux, it pretty much totally freezes. I can't figure it out and there isn't a whole lot of info about this stuff on the web. If anyone has any experience let me know. Thanks :-)

I wouldn't say I'm a unix dummy, or a unix expert, but I have few other options. So I installed MkLinux on an old powermac 6100 I had around. I got it up and running too, its on my network, its apache web server works (though I need to install PHP) I downloaded the RC5-72 client and it runs great....

sw_vers

SW_VERS(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						SW_VERS(1)

NAME

     sw_vers -- print Mac OS X operating system version information

SYNOPSIS

     sw_vers
     sw_vers -productName
     sw_vers -productVersion
     sw_vers -buildVersion

DESCRIPTION

     sw_vers prints version information about the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server operating system running on the local machine.

     When executed with no options sw_vers prints a short list of version properties:

	   % sw_vers
	   ProductName:    Mac OS X
	   ProductVersion: 10.3
	   BuildVersion:   7A100

     The ProductName property provides the name of the operating system release (typically either "Mac OS X" or "Mac OS X Server").  The
     ProductVersion property defines the version of the operating system release (for example, "10.2.4" or "10.3").  The BuildVersion property
     provides the specific revision of the operating system as generated by the Mac OS X build system.

OPTIONS

     The output of sw_vers can be refined by the following options.

     -productName     Print just the value of the ProductName property.

     -productVersion  Print just the value of the ProductVersion property.

     -buildVersion    Print just the value of the BuildVersion property.

EXAMPLES

     % sw_vers -productName
     Mac OS X

     % sw_vers -productVersion
     10.3

     % sw_vers -buildVersion
     7A100
