Terra Soft Offers Linux-booting iPods, FW Drives
Kai Staats of Terra Soft writes "We are pleased to now offer support for bootable iPods and FireWire drives, enabling a highly portable Linux on PowerPC environment." Note that this is about booting a Macintosh into Linux, not running Linux on the iPod.
"The question is, how good does it work?"
Nope, the question should be how well does it work? Sigh.
The religion of SteveJobs? You can't worship him *and* Linus at the same time... they are mutually exclusive! ;)
You appear to have left your NT4/PPC install media at home ;-). Darwine can run Win32/PPC binaries.
Pedants. I couldn't resist, sorry. :-)
iPods with Front Wheel Drive?
I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent. - Q
Is this how Linus boots his Mac?

"Terra Soft Solutions(R), Inc., the leading developer of integrated PowerPC Linux solutions"
Woah! Leading developer of integrated PowerPC Linux solutions. That's impressive! I wonder if there is a second place?
you'll notice that "good" is listed in the OED as a legitimate adverb
Well, it was a good run, Western Civilization. There were some terrific moments there over the last 700 years, but it's over. The barbarians have taken over. Rather than mourn the end, let's take this as an opportunity to fondly reflect upon what we once had.
I hope the next great civilization does as well. I also hope it comes soon.
can i get a slashdot news bulletin, too?
No kidding, they got to make the ads less obvious. Like change the title to M$ employee and SCO employee loves iPods running linux on campus.
It's called "joke". Look it up in the dictionary.
Crap! Wouldn't you know it, right after I just installed Yellow Dog too >:(

There is a lesson here.. The quick slashdotting apears to indicate raid works better than an ipod for running your server.
You can get a free iPod ? Really ?? Where???
Hippo Linux, the worlds premiere bloatware distro. Their "enhanced" version of Emacs takes up 8 gigs by itself.
You know how you can take a normal thing, like reading, and patent it by appending "on the internet"?
Can I patent normal things, but append "when done by Linus"?
Surely that will lead me to profit.

I left a ham sandwich on my desk today and forgot about it. When I got back three geeks were working to make it boot Linux.
Insert witty sig here.
Upgrade! Knock over a lick-her store or something, if you need the cash.
...of course, a job in a lick-her store would be ideal.
I've heard that there is something called a "job". I might try that first, but thanks for the tip.
