Linux Terra Soft Solutions, Inc. will announce tomorrow world's first consumer priced ATX form-factor PowerPC motherboard with full Linux support. Terra Soft, also creators of Yellow Dog Linux, will be selling both the PPC motherboard and a fully equipped computer that will be capable of running YDL 2.3. This will give a new face to the consumer Linux landscape, as Linux effectivelly gets its own platform rather than getting installed side by side with other OSes. Check inside for two pages with pictures of the hardware, information and an interview with TerraSoft's co-founder, Kai Staats.

Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing.

Sure PPC boards are nice, but what good do they do? Who should buy it? a few thousand geeks? Sorry, Be proved you can't live of that.

As much as I like the idea of an open platform, I can't see any reason to leave my intel machine.
