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.

If you build a firwall, non x86 hardware is important, because rootkit for non x86 OS are harder to find, harder to code because there is less hardware in the wild. Remember when linuxppc did the contest it took over 4 month to crack a proftd problem that was craked in 4 days on x86, shell code is harder to write on on x86.
For that reason at least having a cheap PPC solution is great.
