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.

From looking at the pictures there appears to be one small fan on the mobo. Could this be ripped off and replaced with a large heatsink (patience and thermal conductive glue!)? I've been looking at the VIA Eden as a basis for a silent entertainment PC (The fanless models run @ about 500Mhz and only cost $120 w/ integrated VGA, Sound, & network), but if the PPC architechure is more efficent than x86 it may be a better choice when faced with large or complex media streams. Just some ramblings.
