First Graphical LiveCD For The PowerPC By Gentoo

nberardi writes "The PPC team has prototyped the first completely graphical LiveCD for the PowerPC platform featuring a 3D multiplayer OpenGL/SDL game called Cube. Designed for the PegasosPPC, a CD variant to run on Macintosh hardware is already in the works. While the 198 MB GameCD is already available for download from the mirrors (in the experimental/ppc/livecd directory), a whole cluster of ODWs running Cube will be part of the presentations in the Gentoo developer room at FOSDEM in Brussels, 26-27 February 2005." Finding this ISO is a bit of a chore; first, go to one of the download mirrors, then follow the experimental/ppc/livecd chain. However, note that until the Macintosh version is ready, only people with Pegasos hardware will benefit.

Well, it's gentoo. So software rendering will be SUPER SUPER optimized.

And I forgot to buy a card!

Is today Linux LiveCD Day or something like that? At least this is a change of pace from beta-release Ubuntu CDs -- I was wondering how many more times we were going to be hearing about Hairy Warthog.
