Star Slackintosh Reborn: Interview with Adrian Ulrich
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 19th Sep 2007 21:35 UTC, submitted by nicoladagostino
Linux "Slackintosh was a little-known PPC port of Slackware Linux which after some years of development was put on indefinite hiatus. Adrian Ulrich has recently restarted the project and is again providing (together with Marco Bonetti) a Slackware distribution for Apple (and non-Apple) RISC-powered hardware. We contacted him for a short interview to ask him what happened, what is his role and what is the distribution's status."

I just installed Debian over OS X on my iMac G4. It's a little rough around the edges, but it's much faster than my 5+ year old OS X installation.

Hardly surprising as 5 years ago OS X was much slower than it is today.
