    unfortunately, i can't get the 2.2pre kernels to work w/ my powermac, so if 2.2 doesn't work, this isn't going to mean anything. 2.1.127 is the latest that works for me.

  7. Bundling deal too! by CoffeeNowDammit · · Score: 1

    Note that Applix is also bundling R5 of LinuxPPC
    for $129.

    I was originally going to just pick up a copy of R5, but this is making me stop & think.
    We really oughta reward Applix for noticing us
    PPC Linuxers with a purchase, y'know?

    I'm happy to see this, and hope that it helps LinuxPPC become more and more popular.

    Now, lets hope for WordPerfect and Star as well!
