[opensuse-ppc] Re: [opensuse-project] More Support for the openSUSE Project
Hello, 2009-08-13 18:07 keltezéssel, Michael Loeffler írta:
Main reason gives the openSUSE statistics page [1] the number for ppc installations: ppc 0,3%
Two of those are my machines. Not a huge number, but openSUSE was (is) still the best distro for PPC, with very kind help from Olaf, not found at any other large distro.
How definite is this decision?
We welcome and support anyone who wants to maintain and create the ppc distribution for openSUSE but Novell won't maintain and create it anymore for openSUSE.
Now, that my second son is also 4+ months old, I have again some time to do testing, but was disappointed to find, that the last factory sync is from 22nd of July, more than three weeks old. The communication of this, or rather the lack of it is really very ugly, I hope, this isn't what we have to expect from the openSUSE project... Bye, CzP
Best M
I am deeply disappointed!
Thanks, Richard (MQ)

I probably have 1 or 2 in that list as well though I haven't used them much lately..... And I second Olaf's helpfulness. He's been a lifesaver for older hardware.

I didn't get the original email. I was pleased when openSUSE restarted the PPC port and would be disappointed to see it ended since many other distros are going that route since Apple moved to Intel...... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
