[Tfug] Darwin, Linux, PowerPC, ect...

[Wayde C. Gutman]

With the evolution of Darwin and the growing support system for it, is 
Linux on the PowerPC platform dead ? Haven't seen anything lately 
reqarding running Linux on the Apple platform in any publications, I 
haven't seen any thing Linux specific in the Apple/Mac publication at 
all.

The reason for the question is my consideration of converting my system 
from the current Asus P2-99/Celeron 400-mhz to the Teron CX/IBM 750CXe 
G3 (PowerPC clone, 'Boxer Series', reference: terrasoftsolutions.com ) 
and run Yellow Dog Linux  on it.

Why ? I am tired of the x86 environment, that's all.

Has anyone looked into and/or purchase this product ?

I have looked into and still am considering/debating over purchasing a 
used Blue and White G3/400 or coughing up for the G4 dualie. We already 
have an Imac G3 running OS X (very well, thank you) and I don't want to 
mess with it.

Email direct, if you wish.
