Yellow Dog Linux Finds New PPC Hardware Vendor

inditek writes "C|Net's News.com reports that Terrasoft Solutions, the vendor that sells and contributes to the development of Yellow Dog Linux has found, and continues to look for, some hardware alternatives based around the PowerPC now that Apple is moving to Intel chips. They say Apple's move makes for a good opportunity and more open space for a chip they think has a lot of life left in it." team99parody also writes "This is great news for customers like the US Navy who rely on Linux-on-PowerPC for important tasks like sonar imaging systems."

Secret life

Isn't this the moment when Yellow Dog Linux should declare that Linux has been leading a second, hidden life all this time, where everything has been compiled on both PPC and x86?

Yeah! And then we can all debate the wiseness of changing Linux from a PPC platform to x86!

Now, all we need is someone to crack Yellow Dog Linux so it'll run on an x86... I've got a developer's P4 with Linux already installed. I'll put the installation iso on bittorrent as soon as I make sure that there are no "unique identifiers".
