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.

Kai Staats:Mobo + CPU: $495.00

OUCH OW OW OW OW ( Especially since it doesn't support any Linux app for which only x86 binaries are available unless you want to compile the code yourself.... )

I'm sorry but this is not a bargain and apart from as a MOL box it would seem to make very little sense to buy a 600mhz G3 at somewhat more expense than a 1200Mhz Duron
