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?"

Loan 2K ?

Anyone want to loan me 2K?

Sure, I'll loan you 2K. I expect you to pay it back at 16% P.A. compounded daily over 24 months. Interested? Contact me. Where's a G5 to do the interest calcs when I need one?

Oh... perhaps your really wanted me to give you 2000$? ;-)

MS word says your post is 952 words long. 952 words divided by 6 minutes is a hair over 158 WPM. OH MY GOD YOU MUST BE MAVIS BEACON!

I am your biggest fan.

Bah...

This is hardly news. Linux is running on cell phones, VCRs, microwave ovens, and vacuum cleaners these days...

Give me something really geeky, like someone hacked their cat to run linux, or the mars rover, or a dill pickle or something...
