A Power Users Look at Linux on the Mac

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fun-hardware-to-smack dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Even though most Linux users have treated Linux as an operating system for their x86 white boxes, Linux runs equally well on PowerPC machines. This article looks at Linux on the PowerPC and the appealing range of PPC machines produced by Apple, where the option of using Linux is of great value to many users."

    You can buy a dual Xeon for under 1200$? Where?

    I've heard someone once wrote "Pong" for OF. Anyone here up for adding Reiserfs support to it?

    Surprised no-one else has mentioned this, but it's a perfect example of why grammar's important: the title is ambiguous! It could either have a spurious 'A', or a missing apostrophe (in 'User's'); it could refer either to several power users, or to a single one. (I'm not saying I actually care which was meant, of course...)

    I know /. editors don't have time to read the articles they're linking to, and don't read other /. articles to check for dupes, but is it too much to ask that they read the actual headlines they're posting???
