There is now a PegXLin
entry at the IBM Global Solutions Directory. PegXLin is a one CD installed image of Debian/Sarge for the PegasosPPC. It uses part of the Debian/Sarge installer, but then uses an installer script that copies the PegXLin pre-installed image to the disk.

PegXLin now "Ready for IBM Technology" : Comment 14 of 46 | ANN.lu |

This is a fast and very easy way to set up a linux system. There are allready other options too, and AFAIK there will be even more in a short time!
:-)
When it comes to Linux beginners, I think the barrier to get going is a two step one. First you have to set up the system properly and get it working, then you have to learn how it works. You have to know how to install it and set it up before you can even start learning how to use it. Unfortunately, I have not yet downloaded and tried PegXLin yet, but it seems to me that allmost everyone should be able to install this, thus lowering the otherwise quite high barrier for beginners.
Hmm, why not several different pre-configured PegXLin versions in the future, one for general desktop use, one for various server use, etc? Perhaps there are people out there who wants to get some kind of server/router/firewall going, and just don't give a sh!t about what technology is used under the hood, as long as it does the job? Well, just insert the CD, and choose from a menue the features you want, and then it just works. Just a thought ...
