Mandrakelinux 10.1 Out For PPC

Posted by timothy on from the nifty-and-commendable dept.

joestar writes "Less than two weeks after the release of Mandrakelinux 10.1 Official for x86, Mandrakelinux 10.1 for PPC has been released! The interesting news is that this version of Mandrakelinux is now a community-driven project. This means that Mandrakesoft is not anymore behind the PPC port. Hardware requirements and release notes are available online at Mandrakelinux WiKi. Any volunteer for SPARC & Alpha?"

    Does this kind of support extend to the RS/6000 or pSeries line? Not every PPC machine is a overchromed box or an upgraded Amiga, and there's some nice hardware that could use some more distribution support other than the quad digit priced varieties.

    Any contribution is good. Linux for PPC isn't as actively developed for x86, so this only helps the situation. Mandrakesoft probably just can't justify the money spent for PPC, so it's not worth it for them to pursue it.
