Linux "Slackintosh was a little-known PPC port of Slackware Linux which after some years of development was put on indefinite hiatus. Adrian Ulrich has recently restarted the project and is again providing (together with Marco Bonetti) a Slackware distribution for Apple (and non-Apple) RISC-powered hardware. We contacted him for a short interview to ask him what happened, what is his role and what is the distribution's status."

Slackware portability

Just being a little behind Debian and Gentoo, Slackware must be about the third most ported full-featured Linux distribution. There are ports available for AMD64, Alpha, SPARC, ARM, S/390 and with Slackintosh to PPC as well. I have a private port of Slackware 12.0 to MIPS and SPARC and there could be many others to all kinds of different architectures.
