Ubuntu For PPC, And As A Live CD

Jeff writes "Ubuntu is just sweet. For Mac users it is even sweeter, as you can read in this review: it supports hardware like a charm ad now with a live CD out everyone can taste ... sorry, test it." And Chris writes "Gnoppix 0.8.1 now appears to be Ubuntu Linux based. At OSDir, we've got over 50 screenshots of the Gnoppix 0.8.1 release, including the controversial Ubuntu desktop background images." (See this earlier story; the default background images have been changed in Ubuntu proper, so the "controversy" need not keep you up nights.) The Gnoppix version is a very nice Gnome-based live CD, with fewer apps but more polish than most live CDs I've tried. (Note that this is not the same as the official Ubuntu CD, and that the PPC version is not a live CD.)

US != world

Ehm, believe it or not, but there are also countries with other moral values than the US and Europe and people in these countries find these kind of pictures offensive.

Now you and I may not agree with this, but who are we to tell them they should adhere to our moral values?

Congrats for your impressive usage of the English language btw. I sometimes forget that it can be that strikingly beautiful.

OK, here we go again, Linux for PPC

OK, here we go again, Linux for PPC, for x86, for 64-bit processors, for Alpha etc.

Can someone please answer me this: WHEN are we going to see a decent Linux distribution for SPARC machines (Ultra 10s and the like)??? It's like platform support for SPARC is dead or something and everyone keeps bringing out more and more distributions for PPC just because it's cool (?) to do so...

Or is there even a remote possiblity that a *BSD will do equally well on a SPARC machine, as to render Linux redundant?

Pocket PC?

I thought it was for the Pocket PC... I almost blew a load in my pants. Then I read it's talking about the Mac... I almost blew my chow.
