One of the best resources I've found are the Linuxppc user mailing lists, found at http://lists.linuxppc.org/lists/linuxppc-user . Also the linuxppc website has a bunch of info. As far as right clicking goes, one way to do it (so I've been told... I actually have a three button mouse for my Mac) is to edit your kernel arguments. I believe the argument to add is "adb_buttons=151,152". If you're using Xpmac, you can use option-click, control-click, or option-2, and option-3 for the middle and right buttons respectively. I'm pretty sure those are the commands. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Cheers!
Chris

For a lot of general help check out the HOWTO's under /usr/doc
Also, the linux documentation project ( http://www.linuxdoc.org/ ) is a great place to go.

Well, we don't have to do anything. Linux is kind of a "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" kind of OS. It definitely isn't for everyone. It's strength is not user-friendliness. If you don't have a need to use it and you get too frustrated, don't sweat it. It's just not for you. Mac OS X will have very similiar strengths as well as user-friendliness.
I just spent about 20 hours trying to install it on my PowerBook (it turns out the CD I burned was bad: all the files were there, but they were all corrupt).
I liken it a little to homebrewing. It's great fun if you have the time and patience, and don't mind getting dirty. But for lots of people, going to the Pub and having a pint of Guiness suits them just fine. It doesn't make them any less of a beer lover.
Just my 2 cents.

To do a right click, on the keyboard, type Option-3. Middle click is Option-2.
