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.

Who are they selling to?

Really, is there much appeal for geeks compared to faster cheaper x86 stuff? This is a motherboard. I could find a Linux-compatible motherboard anyday. This may be a good alternative to Apple, but I don't think there is much profit here.
