Mandrake Linux 8.0 Final Released For PPC

Posted by timothy on from the ibooks-look-ever-sweeter dept.

rstewart points to this press release, writing: "Mandrake has released version 8.0 final for the PPC architecture. Now Mac users have a choice of distributions between Mandrake and Yellow Dog. Now if only we could easily buy parts and build them cheap in our basements. " And PPC choices already include SuSE, LinuxPPC, Debian, NetBSD and more.

    Was there ever any other major Mac distrobution that was actually "main stream" except for Yellow Dog? I'm sure this will give some i386 (and whatever else mandrake supports) Mandrake users something to look forward to on their PPCs.
