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.

first off, i think i need to change my pants
second 2.cents, this isn't a Mac. it's a PowerPC. there's a difference. Mac is a powerpc system, but this isn't Mac. It's not sold or supported by apple, therefore, not mac.
C, i want one, now! to those who think powerpc is slower cause it doesn't have a 3ghz rating, ur not very smart technologiclly are you? it takes less time to boot YDL 2.1 on my 233mhz G3 PowerMac than Mandrake, Slackware, Windows2k, or WinME on my dual processor P3. G3 has 192megs ram, Dual P3 has 512megs. the P3 should by all sense be faster with 600mhz chips. but it's not. maybe it helps that PPC Linux and MacOS are written for PPC chips? and not the x86 emulation that Pentiums and Athlons use? Risc is good, when coded for.
IV, I WANT ONE@!!!!@!@!@#@#
ok, i'm done.
