Linux Supporting G5 Liquid Cooling System

Posted by pudge on from the cooooooooool dept.

Sandor writes "Apple's G5 is selling well and this seems to have helped the development of the Linux kernel on the ppc64 platform: shortly after the shipment of the dual G5 with the new liquid cooling system, it seems that Linux kernel is going to support it really soon."

    is this like those other times when people have gotten linux running on their Palm or Xbox or clock radio?

    I am not trying to flame but I just don't see the point - OS X is BSD. You've got X11. you can run all sorts of apps from the OS X command line (from apache to fink to vi) so what's the appeal of running linux?

    All I coud figure is the desktop environment.
