LinuxPower features an interesting interview with Rodney Dawes. “At daytime Rodney is a faithful employee at Ximian working on making sure that the packages in Red Carpet are up to date. At night he is working hard to make his GNU/Elysium Linux distribution a reality.”

This seems to be mainly a Unices website.
Yes he is right most dev think x86 only, and their code does not compile on alpha or ppc or …. That’s bad
i really hate that
what ever happed to the UNIX/POSIX “Write Once, compile everyware”?
mlk, about to throw his pritty mips based Cobalt Qube2 out a window.
Kind of sad that someone who cares about the idea of supporting a variety
of hardware platforms would be busy with yet another Linux distribution.
NetBSD is the only OS I know of that shows any real commitment to working
on multiple platforms. When you need NetBSD for, say, MIPS Cobalt, you
don’t have to go looking for some fringe distribution, you go to the NetBSD
ftp site and download the same distribution as everyone else. Linux will
always be about the PC clone platform, or it will follow the herd to whatever
other platform, the 101 distributions thing guarantees it.
