I haven't done much with YDL in some time as I've changed jobs, but
I'd just like to chime in that several years ago that the PPC Linux's

was running rings around the equivalent x86 -or- Alpha based
platforms we were doing
I think one needs to distinguish between the OS and the CPU. My
experience with the G5 is that its floating point performance is
between 1.5x and 2x as fast as the equivalent x86. Unfortunately, the
fixed point advantages are not there. I use LaTeX a lot and heard that

Warren,
I'd concur. This application was hugely floating point
intensive. Graphics ops were not an issue for us. The app used only
low-level X11 calls (no Motif, or Xt calls even), so what graphics
there were under OSX had to go through Apple's X11 layer before being
seen. Most of

I might also add that, due to recent announcements from IBM, the
future of the Cell processor is in doubt. In November, IBM announced
that it was canceling the next iteration of the Cell, the one with 32
SPE cores. I would therefore hesitate in investing any time in
learning Cell
Good to hear from you Warren!! It's been a long time!!
Glad you liked my analogy.

Thanks, Derick. I still love the PPC architecture and recently bought
an Apple dual core 2.3 GHz G5 for very little money and am finding it
to be absolutely as fast as I could ever hope for. I will keep it for
the next 3-5 years (assuming I can keep the power supply running) and

You may want to know that you may find decent parts for your system
from http://macsales.com/
I think we may have to really keep our PowerPC running for longer than
that although I did hear of someone developing a multicore PowerPC
laptop a month or so ago. I've got to search for who this fellow

Hi,
Anyone that could recommend what

get a beginner a bit educated in Linux (preferable yellow dog), (I

I am hoping to get some reading for
