Re: [BLUG] .ppc (was Laconica, Enlightenment, and LFS)

I tried to install YDL on an XServe G4 a while back, and the installer would kernel panic. I did try Ubuntu as well (back when their PPC stuff was pretty up to snuff), and I had problems with the media.

I will be trying again, because all of my XServes are PPC based (for now) and OS X support for that architecture will officially be dead when 10.6 comes out.

I think I can still get some use out of the things, but man are they old. One of those might actually make a great linux based DMS ...

       You can get Fedora 10 at

http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-ppc ; and I haven't checked, but YellowDog is probably still around -- Fedora with an Apple interface.
