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.

@ Nicholas

Wasn't MorphOS only tested with Mai's evaluation boards using a Softex BIOS ROM instead? As Mai hired the Hyperion team to develop a new PPCBoot based BIOS ROM it is likely that MorphOS still doesn't run with these boards yet.

I don't think these boards use all old (buggy) Softex ROM anymore. Next to SuSE, also YDL, TurboLinux, Debian, etc already worked with earlier (Softex) AmigaOne boards.
