“LinuxPPC Inc. has released a new version of its Linux OS bundle
of software and tools for PowerPC Macs. The new bundle, named
LinuxPPC 1999, has an improved installer and a new interface and
comes with software for networking, development and other uses,
including Netscape Communication Corp.’s Communicator 4.6.”
“Originally named Release 5, LinuxPPC 1999 was expected to ship
in January but was delayed while the company added improvements and
new software. ‘We had planned to ship LinuxPPC 1999 sooner but we
wanted it to work well and added applications as they came out,’
said company President Jeff Carr.”
