Well, this particular cluster is using 100mb ethernet. The reason is that the iMac isn't exactly easy to upgrade with something like gigabit or myrinet. We do work on G4 clusters that use gigabit or myrinet for a very high performance and low latency interconnect fabric.

Depends. For people looking to deploy a small, very cheap cluster using PowerPC.. iMacs are the way to go. If you want the higher performance and are willing to spend more G4 is the way to. G4s aren't *that* much more expensive, either.

Try rebuilding some of RH's newt tools against slang 1.4. There's a nasty little bug somewhere that causes some display problems.
It's not like we tell Motorola what to say in *their* quote;) Anyway, my point was that Motorola and TSS worked on this. In fact, I think Apple's own AltiVec egcs/gcc patches are from Motorola (plus their own additions I suppose).
By the way, what does your personal experiences with Apple have to do with Apple helping or not helping Linux companies? I'll I can figure it that you're a BeOS user:P
Where do you get this cruft? Do you see an Apple quote in this PR? Nope. Motorola has been working on AltiVec patches for gcc too, you know. (It is their technology). And yes, we helped them (Motorola) out some.
Go download the gcc patches and put them in "Phil-14's Linux OS". The GPL allows that, and we welcome it.

Uhh, not sure where you heard that. We haven't heard anything from Apple Legal.

We provided Absoft with out AltiVec RPMs and I do believe that their compiler is indeed AltiVec enhanced.

The .ppc.rpm files on altivec.org are from us and is what is shipping with Black Lab Linux.
.ppc.rpm's should show our information in the Vendor and Distribution fields.
altivec.org is basically the starting point for everything AltiVec, so we're putting the RPMs there and linking that site to our web page, etc.
rpm -qi on those
