Someone on the list can correct me if I am wrong, but Linux does not support 
"hfs+". If I recall correctly, the LinuxPPC installation instructions suggest 
you use HFS instead. As for getting the data off the drive, you may have to 
use Mac OS X to copy the data to an HFS partitiion before using it under 
Linux. Does Mac OS X have a boot CD-ROM you can use for maintainance? If it 
does, maybe you could use it to copy the data.
