Re: Red Hat Linux 8.0 released

There is something strange about RedHat Distro. They have distro for ALPHA CPU (HP), PowerPC 64 bit (IBM) and Mainframe (IBM), but there is NO distro for PowerPC 32 bit. Other Distro (SUSE, YD, Debian, Mandrake) have PowerPC 32 bit version, but RH just ignore the architecture.

However it is strange that RH staffs are involved in Linux PowerPC kernel development and the person who created GCC 3.2 for Altivec is working for RH.

Perhaps if AmigaOne is succesful, RH will release a Distro for it. If Amiga HW use the new Power4 CPU (Oct. 2002), perhaps the new CPU will be compatible with RH Distro.
