| steve I use Debian/x86 at home. I administer Debian/x86, RedHat/x86, RedHat/sparc, and PPC (was linuxPPC recently changed to YellowDog) at work. LinuxPPC and YellowDog run very much like RedHat. I have had no problems with them. I recently installed YellowDog over LinuxPPC99, and find it to have a much better default setup than either LinuxPPC or RedHat/any. With YDL, all the hardware worked "out of the box", unlike LPPC99. Obviously there is the lack of major apps for all non-Intel archs, but as a development workstation the PPC ports work exactly the same as RedHat/x86 for me. If I need to run WP8 or Star Office on the PPC, I just ssh into one of the other machines and run it remotely. YMMV. |
