Heh so these are random tidbits I just noticed/found out...
1. Yellow Dog is switching to E17 for its WM. Very cool.
2. Yellow Dog is advertising support for the PS3 on its website. Got no desire to support Sony(Of course buying one and having Sony take a loss is another matter
but its still interesting to pay 600 bucks for a cell computer running linux. Not any time soon, Ill wait for the price to drop at least.
Yellow Dog I always found interesting because they took a different marketing strategy than most linux desktop vendors. Instead of supporting all hardware, or trying to, they focused on a specific market, namely Apple computers. I never tried them out, but it was interesting to me as they could tell you exactly what would and would not work, and could focus on tweaking their distro for a set hardware(Much like Mac OS) Will be interesting to see if they continue expanding in the direction of embedded/alternative systems now that Mac is off of PPC.
