MorphOS 2.5 Released, Supports More Old Macs
An anonymous reader writes "The MorphOS Team has released version 2.5 of its PPC computer-only operating system. The new version extends its support of the PPC Mac range to include the eMac, which was the 2002-2006 Mac model consisting of a CRT monitor and computer in a single housing. MorphOS previously and continues to support the PPC Mac mini, as well as the Pegasos and Efika niche computers (all discontinued but available second-hand). MorphOS includes a web browser and TCP/IP stack and a few traditional baseline OS-associated apps among its features. Further software is available from a range of online repositories. MorphOS 2.5 comes on a bootable 30-minute demo live CD ISO which may also be installed. The ISO is available for free download by anyone. The 30-minute limit is removed by online purchase of registration/key file which is available for a limited period for the sum of 111 euros to celebrate the launch of this version."

I looked at the summary, was wondering what's the advantage over TerraSoft's YDL, the os formerly known as Yellow Dog Linux.
When I saw the 30 minute limit thing, I realized clearly what was the disadvantage compared to YDL.
Hell, why one would bother with Linux distro for day-to-day work if it can be done with Windows that came preinstalled on a laptop...
