I’ve just downloaded Xubuntu 7.04 PPC with the intention of creating Copland from it.
But it seems to be an excellent PowerPC distribution - my iMac’s screen
started up immediately which it never did before under straight
Xubuntu, there’s compositing support in XFCE immediately, my Mac
partitions were recognised and mounted out-of-the-box, and the only bug
I’ve found in it was one that I couldn’t fix in Copland CP! It’s
reasonably fast, too.
It looks like the community PowerPC team has created something very
impressive; not to mention the XFCE/Xubuntu team. Frankly people, I
can’t see anything that I can do to improve on this. My wish was for
PowerPC users to be serviced properly by a distribution which
understands the pitfalls of working on this platform; it looks to my
superficial eye like this has already been achieved.
Are PowerPC users left wanting of anything, other than a precompiled Gnash?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pleased and very impressed. But I’m at a loss
and I have to reconsider whether I can really add anything to Xubuntu
PowerPC.
