The SUSE PowerPC Team is continously trying to motivate product management to sign off a Box product, so far without much success. But don't consider it completely dead yet.
To have no box with up-to-date security fixes (and there are no more new fixes for 7.3), makes it dead for most users. They can't wait until next release and reinstall when ever the computer is hacked or a worm was inside. We all know the PPC-box market is "a little bit" smaller then the IA32 market and Apple now - with MacOS X - has a very good Unix it's own, delivered with every new Mac. So I can understand, the management can't see profit for such a product. But if there is no now PPC-box or a ftp-version of a more recent version with up-to-date security fixes, the PPC consumerversion is dead. What versions you have inside the PPC Team doesn't matter in this case. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de
