Yet, if it has Open FirmWare, I'll bet you I can get OS X to boot on it.

Impressive, quite... But I voted on their site that I was an Apple fan and OS X fan.. Linux just doesn't compare (especially for an end user).
I am however impressed that someone else is using the G5 which is actually a great processor that doesn't get it fair share of attention in this x86 world.

How would OS X handle the foreign southbridge?
