The death knell may have started when Apple moved their systems to Intel processors. It's a community based OS (not Fedora specifically, but the Linux/GNU community at large). If there are no cheap systems to develop code it's hard to get the critical mass to push a distro. RHEL5.5 is available for IBM Power though. I will be installing it on a p550 sometime soon. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
