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 31 of 46 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Seehund on 14-Oct-2003 15:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 30 (Amon_Re): I think the biggest barrier and struggle for Linux beginners is to actually become Linux beginners in the first place.
I don't know to what extent PegXLin remedies this (partitioning, multi-boot systems, bootloaders, hardware configuration and whatnot that comes with doing a fresh installation), but it seems to be an attempt in that direction.
OTOH I never thought choosing packages (or preselected sets of packages, like "workstation", "server", "personal desktop" et c.) would be considered to be such a hassle for beginners once they've decided to try out Linux. |
