Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM

Posted by timothy on from the alert-the-darl dept.

ksheff writes "According to this story, IBM is planning on introducing low-end SMP servers and deskside machines based on the PPC970. The machines would be able to run Linux and AIX. A 4-way machine is expected to cost less than $3500! IBM expects a 20x increase in the number of PPC Linux servers by 2006."

  1. Will these run OSX??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Any ideas on whether these will be able to run OSX with a sufficiently modified XNU? My gut feeling is that they should. That would sure cut into G5 sales!
