Eyetech posted more AmigaOne information on the AmigOne ML : Comment 18 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Solar on 26-Feb-2002 07:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 15 (Mike Veroukis): > How good is LinuxPPC? Is it as good as the x86 version?
Out of the box, yes. Software support, no.
> Does it have all the same support for drivers and such?
Should have, basically. But applications require to be ported - that "just recompile" is, sadly, a myth under Linux. (It only works *after* the port has been done.)
> Does Red Hat support it?
SuSE does, not sure about RedHat.
> And of course, the big question... Would there be any issues of dual

Technically, shouldn't. But didn't you hear Hyperion? Dual booting is EVIL! Oh, wait, that was dual booting on the x86 where they would loose their potential market... that should tell you something about software support on LinuxPPC...
