<div class="body">TuxPPC is a free resource for users who
want to use the Linux® operating system on PowerPC based computers.
TuxPPC emerged from the leading PPC/Linux resource <a href="http://www.imaclinux.net" class="ArtLink">iMacLinux</a>.
TuxPPC is the largest Linux resource dedicated to the PowerPC platform.
</div>
<p>
<a href="http://www.ppckernel.org" class="bodyTitle">PPC Kernels</a><br>
<div class="body">
We are currently working on our new ftp site, which will feature the return
of our iMacLinux kernels (kernels and kernel .configs for specific PPC hardware).
Until we have the opportunity to complete the resource, we recommend you
have a look at an excellent site called <a href="http://www.ppckernel.org">ppckernel.org</a>.
</div>
<p>
<a href="http://www.sourceforge.net" class="bodyTitle">Development Servers Decommissioned</a><br>
<div class="body">
Due to a complete lack on interest we have cancelled our Development Server
project and allocated the PPC hardware to provide other services. If you were
interested in this project, we recommend you look at <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a>
who provide compile farm services for both Linux and MacOS X under PPC or
check out this <a href="http://www.cygnus.com/~meissner/psim.html">PowerPC simulator</a>.

<a href="/plain_page.php?caller=tuxppc.php3+record=65" class="bodyTitle">Feature: PPC/Linux catches up</a><br>
<div class="body">It has been well over a year since we took a look at the
state of PPC/Linux and the available distributions. We feel that Linux on the
PPC has caught up with Linux on the x86. John Buswell takes a look and
discusses how Linux is a viable alternative to MacOS.</div>
<p>
<a href="/plain_page.php?caller=tuxppc.php3+record=33" class="bodyTitle">Get your work published!!</a><br>
<div class="body">Whether you are a Linux expert or just have an opinion, we
would like to hear from you. TuxPPC is in need of articles to publish on our
site over the next few months. While our staff are dedicated to providing
new articles on a regular basis, we are all busy people and help is always
appriciated. If you want to write an article but don't have a subject to
write on, contact us and we will provide you with some ideas and where to
start your research. All articles written belong to the author and are

Linux makes sense for almost any server or embedded application, and for
