They are offering several new Macs with Yellow Dog Linux preinstalled now, and are promising the Xserve will be available soon." They are currently shipping Power Mac G4s, iBooks, and iMacs, as well as AirPort cards. See the Terra Soft Store for more information.

    "Hands down the 1Ghz PowerPC chip is the fastest, most stable chip in it's price range."

    I dunno about that, I'm still getting 0fps with GTAIII on my Mac. :D

    I'd love to run a dual flat panel PowerMac, but it requires the whooptie Ge-whiz-force4 Unubtanium or whatever. I can't find any Linux info except "not supported" for any currently shipping video other than the Radeon. Is support for this setup on the horizon?

    Anyone know where I can get any info?
