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.

Why?

Unless it's priced below comparable x86 hardware I do not see any use for this. Can somebody enlighten me why somebody would buy such a thing? What kind of business model do they have unless their real target are machines capable to run MacOSX? Another company doomed for failure if you ask me...
