You'll spend numerous enjoyable hours shooting yourself in the foot and pulling your hair out in frustration. If you really want to buy one instead here is a few places with info. http://penguinppc.org/embedded/hw-companies/ http://linux-embedded.com/hardlist.php3 (Note: more than just PPC) You could try motorola and IBM reference boards. If you just want to hack PPC code get a mac and a mac distribution like Yellow Dog or MacLinux. (Note: You might want to check the list of compatible models of these distributions before buying a mac) Have Fun!!
