I was rambling on about Linux with Joey today when I finally put 2 and 2 together. Fedora just announced support for PowerPC (Apple PowerMac) with the release of Core 4. Apple is moving to Intel hardware. That means that unless someone begins to sell generic PowerPC based workstations, all that porting and adaptation of source code to run on PowerPC was a big waste of time.

I guess it works out great for me, as I will probably be able to eventually get a G5 tower for pretty cheap which I will promptly load up with Fedora Core 4.

Nonetheless, what a drag this must be for the Fedora developers who spent all that time and effort on getting Fedora to run on PowerPC. It appears that Core 4 can also run on IBM p-Series servers, which is pretty snazzy, but how many people have a spare IBM p-Series Server laying around?
