This is the ROCK Linux Port to the PowerPC Processors. It's not ready for production use at the moment, but most of it builds allready fine and works as one would expect. First binary releases for RS/6000 systems are planed for the next weeks.
IBM RS/60000 Systems
IBM sponsored an RS/6000 B50 box which is the main development platform for the ROCK Linux PowerPC port.
Apple Systems
Currently noone does real development and testing on any Apple systems. If you are interested on working on the Apple port, please send me a mail (my address is clifford@clifford.at).
Inital port at 16C3 in only 3 days
The initial port of ROCK Linux happend at the 16th Chaos Communication Congress (aka 16C3) in Berlin from 1999-12-27 to 1999-12-29 on an Apple iMac Rev. A. It took us only three days to create a base system (including perl, apache, etc.) from scratch.
