YellowDog
Well I am updating this entry with my shiny new Linux install on my tiBook. I am impressed with how zippy this is, but I don't think I will be giving up my Aqua environment anytime soon.
This should be interesting as I become more and more comfortable with the Linux UI. And hey thanks for the save Basil, sometimes the easiest commands are the hardest to find.
Well as I write this I am watching and waiting for my tiBook to finish installing Yellow Dog Linux.
I am hoping to be an active member in the Lexington Professional Linux Users Group, or LPlug as it is more widely known. Of course this would make more sense and not be so silly if I actually had a linux distro running somewhere here locally.
So I opted for my laptop since I will be taking it to meetings and the only other mac I have that would run it well is my webserver and that is doing just fine with OS X.2 Jaguar.
Wow in the couple of minutes that is has taken me to write this the installation is almost complete. Just have to love the G4. Mmmmmm... Altivec goodness. Which reminds me, I wonder if the kernel that is being installed is altivec aware? Well since the install is just about complete I guess I will be finding out shortly... won't I?
Well that is it for now off to the wonderful world of Linux.
