Yellow Dog Linux 5 has been announced. Surprisingly, it will first be released for Sony's Playstation 3, and then later for PPC Macs. Yellow Dog Linux 5 for the Playstation 3 will use E17 as its desktop environment (YDL's page on E17), which will be a boost to E17's adoption rate. Sony had mentioned the PS3 would include Linux in some capacity, but it has been unclear how Linux would fit into the rest of the system.

The balls! The audacity!
Seriously, here's to YDL for stepping out and doing something really interesting. Enlightenment -- cool. I hope this is also the default when they release YDL 5 for Mac.
It's been a while since I've actually bought something from Terrasoft. I think that will change. What to do with that spare G4 just became apparent.
Those of us using PPC Macs should probably make a point to support PPC Linux vendors. We're may need them someday.
