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.

All the Mac On Linux & Palladium comments are out of place, I think. If you want a Mac, buy a Mac. And any x86 board you buy today doesn't have Palladium.
What I'm excited about is a cool-running, efficient system that will be excellent for a programmer's workstation. Three cheers for x86 alternatives!!
Oh and BTW, all Terrasoft's stuff is excellent - I'm sure this board will perform well. If you want to peel off that fan and stick a passive heatsink on there, go right ahead - no G3 Mac I've ever used had a fan. The HSF that is on these G3s is smaller than the Northbridge fan on my Athlon board
