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.
Obviously Palladium will only result in crackers digging a bit deeper to remove the "copy protection". Nothing has ever stopped a pirate that really wants to copy something. Freeware and OSS programs could get a boost from Palladium simply because it forces people to look for alternatives.
Copy protection is one thing, infringing on people's rights is another and quite frankly Palladium is way over the line already.
Enough OT though. This thread is about Terra Soft announcing a PPC mobo from MAI.
