A PowerPC version isn't out of the question, but there are a few problems with Stormix shipping a commercial version of it: 1. Selling a boxed copy of PowerPC becuase there isn't an established retail channel to sell to. Do you sell to places that stock other Linux distros or do you sell to Mac stores? It will be interesting to see where/how well LinuxPPC 2000's boxed version does. Happily, with Linux getting more and more popular selling a Mac version in retail stores is becoming more feasible. 2. Hardware. We have an iMacDV (mmm, grape) that we use for doing graphics and print work. Hardwares not too expensive though. 3. Manpower. We don't have anyone in the office who is very knowledgable about Linux on the PowerPC. If there were any experienced Debian PowerPC people interested in working in Vancouver, Canada, then would help a lot ... -- Kevin Teague iBuilder http://www.stormix.com
