In the latest PowerPC news it is reported that OSF is porting Linux to the Mac with the support of Apple. Apple has a web site - www.mklinux.apple.com that discusses this and has a link to the OSF site. In my book, this is a GoodThing(tm). Of course, being a huge fan of both the Mac and unix might put me in the minority ;-)
They aren't *really* porting Linux to powermac. They're throwing a little bit of paint on OSF/1 and hiding some stuff in libc. Looks to me like they are basicly trying to ca$h in on the Linux name and reputation without contributing anything to the cause. I personally think that Linux International (they still around?) should put out a counter press-release informing the public that the Apple/OSF Linux shares only the name. Christopher
