“New systems tested, built with LinuxPPC software”

“The computer industry has been abuzz with the news that fast,
inexpensive PowerPC logic boards and computer will soon be arriving
on the market. Since the debut of IBM’s new ATX form factor PowerPC
logic boards at the LinuxWorld Expo, media and user interest has
focused around the prospect of being able to buy a PowerPC computer
from virtually any manufacturer that chooses to build them.”

“LinuxPPC Inc. is ensuring that those computers will have a
top-notch operating system. LinuxPPC 1999, the version Linux for
PowerPC computers, is already running on the new machines. The new
hardware is being shown at IBM’s booth at the HP World Conference
& Exhibition in San Francisco, August 15-20. Show attendees can
see the new logic board, along with LinuxPPC 1999 and major
LinuxPPC applications running on the 467 MHz machine.”
