Two points: There are more communistic countries in the world than Russia.
Nobody lost the cold war, that's why we're still alive. Well maybe the people who lost their jobs and went to prison in the states, because they were called communists, maybe they lost in the cold war.
I will rant now: I'm sick and tired of people who don't know dick about communism talk as if it was a bad thing. The philosophy was never flawed. In many countries the implementation left something to be desired which doesn't necesarilly mean the idea is bad. Get your narrowminded facts straight.
Okay, rant mode on Why is it that everytime I try to find anything at all on Linux on PowerPC, it boils down to, in the end, the Mac. Cmon people, doesn't anybody have an IBM PowerPC (the way I do, and can't seem to make linux work on it). there is more to PowerPC than the discussion of which type of mouse your favourite MAC/OS machine has. As I said I have an IBM PowerPC 43P - 140. It's a 166Mhz 604e with 128Mb of RAM, 2x2Gb Wide SCSI disks, and GXT POWER 550 graphic card. The Linux distro sites are not overly helpful on the subject of my machine. The biggest problem is of course the graphic card, which doesn't seem to be supported by Xfree, according to the documentation on XFree.org If anybody does have a similar machine, I would appreciate your hints on which distro would work and how to make the Xwindows system operational. (I already tried to install yellow dog, but it doesn't want to boot. The instructions are a little sketchy so I could be doing something wrong). Thanks, dave Null
