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 45 of 46 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 15-Oct-2003 19:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 43 (smithy): @smithy
If Packard Bell don't bother to submit their modifications from model to model, how can the Linuc developers know? Dell do the same. Dell and Packard Bell test to ensure that their bastardised systems work with Windows, even if that means submitting drivers. They don't test for Linux because they can't be bothered.
You get what you buy. Brand names that bastardise their hardware regularly and only support Windows will only be guaranteed to work with Windows.
BTW, I'm not at all sure I'd put Packard Bell in the "top" brands. I'd class them in the "cheap and nasty corner-cutting" category, brand or no brand. I'm constantly amazed how people assume that just because the brand is well known it somehow guarantees you get a quality product. |
