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 37 of 46 | ANN.lu |

Let me guess: you have a Dell.
(Dell are known for doing screwy things to their hardware. Amithlon had the same problem initially and had to be patched before it would work with them.)
The moral of the story is that you get what you buy. If you go for a pre-built high-street "name" like Dell, you can expect it to work great with the operating system and software it comes with, but cause problems with anything Dell don't support themselves, If you're going to be adventurous and try various operating systems, you're better off building your own system from generic non-bastardised parts.
Mandrake works great here, and the installer is superb. The only thing I've had to touch with the text editor has been the XF86Config-4 file, and that's just because of how nVidia distribute their drivers. |
