Linux Coming to Power Mac G5

Justen writes "Terra Soft, the people behind Yellow Dog Linux (YDL), announced that they will be supporting the new Power Mac G5. Since they are an Apple Authorized Reseller, you can purchase your Power Mac G5 through Terra Soft and have YDL pre-installed on a separate partition from Mac OS X. According to Terra Soft, 'as Yellow Dog Linux was in 2000 enabled for the IBM Power3 by IBM Lab and Linuxcare, and subsequently for the Power4, the effort to support the 970-based Apple computers is anticipated to be completed with relative ease.' Life is good. Anyone wanna loan me $2,000?"

More choice is always good

More choice is NOT always good. The people who are wasting their time porting Linux to the Mac could be doing something that actually contributes to the world, something that actually makes the world a better place.

Don't masturbate all day and justify it by saying "choice is good."
