LinuxPPC 5.0 Announcement

ThoraX695 writes "LinuxPPC Inc. has just released their plans for at least two minor updates and a major upgrade to the PowerPC port of Linux on their website. It looks like the major changes will be the 2.2.x kernel, Gnome instead of KDE as the default WM, XFB (which is based upon XFree68), and glibc 2.1 support." I'm just happy to see that the alternatives to x86 are getting good support. I'm seriously considering a PowerBook G3 instead of a P2 Laptop when my current p.o.s. melts down. (When? after als, its amazing this things boots) Course there is that one mouse button thing... will Apple ever get over that crime against the universe? The release also notes that LinuxPPC.org and .com will split, leaving org for developers and .com for the company. Best of luck to both sites.
