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 have yet to see an even somewhat-convincing argument that "that Palladium/DRM crap" isn't a good thing. Would you be willing to provide one?
Alas I don't want to go to far off topic here and this is probably just a troll but.. yeah. Mod me down if you must Eugenia. Oh, this system is cool btw.
DRM/Palladium means that trusted code has to verified by the OS. This places sole and complete control of what code your computer can run in the hands of intel/microsoft. It also strips away fair use rights.
DRM/palladium isn't neccassary. Decent code and some simple changes on the OS side would fix 99% of the problems in the wintel world. How many viruses do you see for *nix systems? As for DRM management.. it's not my fault the record/movie companies still haven't developed a decent online purchasing system or adopted to the times. Sorry, touch luck RIAA/mpAA
You are trusting your computer to a company with a huge record for security holes in its products. Microsoft's security track record isn't exactly sterling and you want to trust them to develop a method for implemnting secure code services?
Advertising slogan? Rip.Mix.Burn. Not on your pc you won't be able to. Simple enough for you?
