Has anyone tried running Linux on this poard?
If successful, please reply both on-list and off, if you don't mind.
Please, forgive my ignorance on the subject, but I see that
lately people are talking more and more about such boards for
PowerPC's and I read a tiny bit (very tiny) about such boards
and they are basically an ATX motherboard with a PPC CPU stuck
on them, right?
If that is correct, what would the benefits of using one of
those machines? Is it cheaper than purchasing a x86 system
with equivalent horse-power? Is it just the techno-lust of
using a PowerPC CPU?
These are sincere questions. Please educate me.
Thanks for any comments, Roger...
Pardon my grumpyness, but isn't that a pretty dang stupid question to
ask on the debian-powerpc list? ;-)
Seriously, these boards are the same as used in the AmigaOne, and some
of us happens to like AmigaOS. The fact that Linux is a pretty neat
secondary OS isn't excactly a problem for me. What is the point of
buying a Mac? Comes down to much the same reasons, I would guess.
