Does Linux PPC has a future without the Mac PPC machines ? Why would Debian, Gentoo and others keep working on Linux PPC now ? Only for Pegasos and the few other PPC machines left ?
This is what Yellow Dog say:
Three main points:
1) We remain a Linux development company with 100% focus on the Power
Architecture (IBM, Freescale). We will not transition to support an x86/ia64
architecture.
2) Terra Soft remains in good standing with Apple. Their announcement does not
immediately affect our ability to sell nor support Apple PowerPC hardware.
Nor does it affect our ability to support non-Apple Power Architecture
offerings. Things are already in motion to enable a world of greater Power
Architecture diversity.
3) Based upon feeback to today's news, we expect Y-HPC to gain an even greater
userbase with existing Apple Xserve users. Y-HPC offers a Linux OS to help
bridge x86/ia64 and PowerPC clusters, reducing effort in code migration and
administration.LINKIt would be interesting to hear some words from the newly elected Gento PPC Strategic Lead on this matter, "our" David Holm!
And also some public statements from Sven Luther would be nice!
MorphOS is Amiga
done right! MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
