What if Red Hat Software doesn't release Red Hat Linux/PPC? | |
The sky won't fall; the world won't end. Even though Red Hat is not likely to choose to officially support PPC as a supported platform, we'll still be more than happy to work with volunteers from the PPC community to get patches for PPC into our official sources as applicable and reasonable, making it possible to compile Red Hat Linux for PPC platforms. We would probably even distribute a compiled version on our ftp site. For more information on how to volunteer, see http://www.dartmouth.edu/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/jonh/lppc/faq.pl?file=260 entitled "What is Red Hat Software waiting for?" Michael K.

There is already a pre-release verison of "Red Hat Linux" for PPC/MkLinux.
This of course is an un-official version, as Red Hat does not currently support Linux PPC. You can try it at: ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/mirrors/MkLinux
Keep in mind this is still a pre-release, any questions and comments should
be directed to fray@kernel.crashing.org.
