    YellowDog is a PPC OS, so it won't run on a normal PC. You need to get PPC based hardware e.g. an old Mac.

    To be frank with you, I don't know much about MACs (I've mostly used Linux or FreeBSD on PCs), so can't really give any decent advice about the hardware. You could contact the YellowDog developers and find out if they support your hardware.
