I dunno, man. I think there is a lot of room for innovation in the
space between this drive for cost-cutting and the re-architecture

I also think you and I would make for a good G4 talk show :D

Call me crazy, but I think ARM is the future of computing. ARM is a

I've always been able to see the attraction of making very old
hardware do tricks it wasn't intended for. I'd wager half the traffic
on this list, if not more, comes from enthusiastic tinkerers who just
love their old hardware too much to give it up :)
Heck, I ran a DEC AlphaServer/266 as
Yeah, I'd be okay with the slow pace of copying and installing files
if it actually installed the bootloader correctly :)
Does anyone know of a good PPC livecd that would let one mess around
with files once they're there? I was reading something someone said
