what about the upcoming Pegasos G5 platforms?
by Ed on Thu 18th Dec 2003 21:35 UTC

I know it is currently vaporware (See 5th paragraph of http://www.genesi.lu/press_20031204.php), but does anyone feel like speculating on the geek coolness of running Linux on that platform once (if) it offers workstation level performance, and does anyone feel in a position to speculate whether the Pegasos will actually enter the market with SMP G5s anytime this year? Their G4 and G5 machines already run ports of several Linux distributions.
