Re: Amigaone to be linux or not to be linux

Hello
There are several strange Linux Distro for X86:

1. Linux from Scratch.
2. Linux Knopper (From CD, without any Hard disk installation).
3. Penguin Liberation Front (PLF).

Is it possible to port the above distros to PowerPC?

I found that the latest version of Linux application softwares is not available in binary format, and user have to re-compile the whole source code from TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2 source codes.

I found several difficulty (see my ID3LIB post) and only solve it by downloading the latest binary of GCC.

Several "closed source" Linux application (ie 3ivx codec) is only available in X86 binary format.
Is it possible to solve this problem?

BTW: Is there any working DVD Writer and Player software on Linux PPC?
What about Non Linear Video Editing and Capture?
