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.

I am sure YDL will be available for AmigaOne boards pretty soon as well. The main reason why SuSE is supported first is because developers/consumers have showed their preferences towards this distribution.
With regard to AmigaO4 another important thing to think about is hardware support, as you will probably understand it is almost impossible for a new OS to support all hardware component available on the market today. The developers will need to write such drivers for themselves.
Currently the best choise for Amiga users is to get a SB Live! audio card in ccombination with an ATi Radeon 7x00/8x00 video card.
