Not often the best technology is the one people use!Edited 2007-01-24 22:05 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 22:04:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Tanner) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?205454 http://osnews.com/thread?205454 So, where can I order some PowerPC barebone and bless it with couple of gigs or ram and descent hard drives to run my favorite operating system? What raid controller you'd recommend to this mission critical desktop rig?

What? you mean there is no barebones and even boards for Amiga OS were discontinued? Then whatta hell can I do with this CPU? You mean I have to buy myself Xbox 360? And how much I have to pay Microsoft for rights to produce some games for this crap?

So, what is the point of learning this instruction set?Edited 2007-01-24 23:26 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 23:26:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (antik) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?205570 http://osnews.com/thread?205570 grab a second-hand power4 (or even power5) workstation on ebay. ;-) those are cheaper than new power5+ workstations from IBM, but still quite fast.

There is also Genesi, that produce the Open Server Workstation "in the near future" ( ). That would be a very reasonable computer with enough power for todays applications.

Although I must admit, that it would be great to have more choices... Thu, 25 Jan 2007 07:30:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (mrothe) Comments
