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 44 of 46 | ANN.lu |

But is being marketed and used by desktop OS users (whatever that/they are), and it is. If the competition (i.e. Windows) can manage to install itself without getting into a tizzy then Linux should too. It's not good enough to make excuses in the following vein:
Car company A: Our new car's doors all open without sticking!
Car company B: Our new car's doors open without sticking with certain people! But that's fine, because it's not a car for general road use, even though it is marketed as such. Oh, and before you adjust the rear-view mirror (assuming you can get into the car) be sure to read the useless man page that (might) tell you how to do it! |
