The last few days were spent hanging out with the girl, doing random last minute things, getting hair cut, flying off to Melbourne, looking at my new<\/i> room, unpacking, re-arranging, getting reconnected to the Net, and other random boring things. Caught Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason<\/a> on the plane ride back.<\/p>\n

Pegasos PPC<\/strong>
\nFinally unpacked the Pegasos II PPC<\/a> box that’s been sitting around for months (while I was away). Its a 1GHz ODW<\/a>, and I was surprised to find a keyboard and mouse in the packaging. Nice touch. <\/p>\n

The hardest part to getting it running might seemed to have been me not reading my e-mail properly. CPU wasn’t plugged in, so I had to open the box. Remember, push outwards, not inwards towards the back :) After plugging it in, there’s various Debian’s (default is a 2.6 kernel), MorphOS, and YDL3. Nice featureset, its a CHRP Pegasos box (from \/proc\/cpuinfo) with 256MB of RAM, and I hope to start fiddling with getting Fedora on it. FC-4 if we can, though prime importance is getting FC-4\/ppc working.<\/p>\n

Seems folk hang out at #pegasosppc at your favourite OSS based IRC network…<\/p>\n

Other goodness<\/strong>
\nThe RULE Installer<\/a> for FC-3 is out. Now you can run Fedora Core 3 on machines with 32MB of RAM, with KDrive as an X server (as opposed ot Xorg).<\/p>\n

Been noticing that Centos\/ppc<\/a> is up and about. Its ppc64 in general, but they’re going to try get ppc32 patches and make it rock. Probably all thanks to Karanbir Singh<\/a>, who has an interesting blog to watch. Is there a Planet Centos somewhere out there? #centos-ppc is another fun place to hang out.<\/p>\n

FESCO<\/strong>
\nMeeting Minutes from Meeting #1<\/a> for the Fedora Extras Steering COmittee. Next time, I hope it goes out a few days before the meeting even. And we have some form of way for others to contact fesco folk… <\/p>\n
