I know this may sound over the top, but why don't we just make it ourselves ? Olaf, the ppc kernels you work on, do you release the changes ? Are they still workable on the end user PPC systems, ibpook optimisations etc ? All we have to do is then have our autobuild to spit out the ppc distro. Olaf, how viable is this from a legal perspective and the stance of suse on this ? Justin (ex-suse employee :o) On Mon, 2003-01-20 at 15:51, Bernd Kulawik wrote:
Hi PPC-linux users,
Here's what I got today from SuSE as answer on my question for a new PPC release:
"Leider muss ich Sie enttäuschen, denn eine neue PPC-Distribution von SuSE Linux ist wegen verhältnismäßig geringen Nachfrage nicht geplant.
Es wird lediglich für den professionellen Einsatz auf Serverhardware den SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for i-series and p-series geben.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
SuSE PreSales Detlef Wiese"
that is:
"I'm sorry, but a new PPC Distribution by SuSE Linux is not planned because of the small amount of interest. There will be only the SuSE Linux Enterprise 8 for professional usage on server hardware [IBM] i-series and p-series. .... "
because I also prefer to have the same distribution on different hardware (x86 at work and PPC private) I would say: let's switch to Debian :-)
