I have used the PPC version. The HCL is quite limited:
IBM:
Personal Computer Power Series 830
Personal Computer Power Series 850
ThinkPad Power Series 820
ThinkPad Power Series 850
Motorola:
PowerStack RISC PC DT603-66*
PowerStack RISC PC DT603-100*
PowerStack RISC PC DT604-100
PowerStack RISC PC DT604-133*
PowerStack RISC PC MT603-66
PowerStack RISC PC MT603-100*
PowerStack RISC PC MT604-100*
PowerStack RISC PC MT604-133*
PowerStack Series E E603-66P
PowerStack Series E E604-100P
PowerStack Series E E604-133P*
The list of, for example, supported video cards, is even smaller. I
didn't have any success booting it on a PowerStack Series E with a PPC
604e processor, either. It did work on an IBM PowerPersonal 7248
("Carolina"), even though it doesn't appear on the HCL.
