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.

"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."
Which means that if you've got these cards and are thinking about getting yourself a Teron CX, you might as well buy an A1 and get AmigaOS running when you're at it.
@Dave: Some more RAM in the PC might help a little, a reinstall might help you for a while, but sure, Wintels can be a real pain in the ass when it comes to being "responsive".
When it comes to running Mac On Linux, well here's from the MOL FAQ:
"Q: Does MOL run on non-Apple hardware?
A: It does. MOL runs for instance on the Pegasos board, the Teron board and on AmigaOne hardware. In short, MOL should run on any PowerPC hardware (with the except of 601-based systems). However, the EULA of MacOS prohibits its usage on non-Apple hardware (it is of course perfectly legal to use MOL to boot a second Linux though)."
So, technically, yes, legally, no. This makes the AmigaOne/Teron CX a cheap, but sadly illegal, Mac.
