Also, with regards to nicer, newer kernels with patches that aren&#8217;t in mainline, but are benh generated, dwmw2 has been keeping a repository at <a href=\"ftp:\/\/ftp.linux.org.uk\/pub\/people\/dwmw2\/fc3-kernel-ppc\/\">ftp:\/\/ftp.linux.org.uk\/pub\/people\/dwmw2\/fc3-kernel-ppc\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I updated the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bytebot.net\/geekdocs\/ibook\/fedorappc.html\">Fedora Core on your Macintosh (Fedora PPC)<\/a> guide today as well, to include that newer information. Also for fun, for easy drop in to <tt>\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/<\/tt> is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bytebot.net\/geekdocs\/ibook\/fc3ppc.repo\">fc3ppc.repo<\/a> which has all the necessary repos you can use (for a nice stable FC-3 system that is). I especially like:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;There are now two Fedora ports for PPC out there: this official FC3 port in test stage and Yellowdog Linux, which is Fedora-based and in sync with Core 2. What&#8217;s the difference between the two? What will be the difference? For now all I can see is that, as expected, Yellowdog is fine-tuned on some hardware recognition there where Fedora still fails. But, being the Fedora port in a test stage, there is much room for improvement and soon we could see a stable release that will fix all of the small problem one meets now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh, there&#8217;s now <a href=\"http:\/\/planet.conary.com\/\">Planet Conary<\/a>, and finally, I think, Specifix Linux might be PPC compliant in due time (sure, Anaconda needs fixing first&#8230;). A bootstrap system is in the near future, I&#8217;m guessing. Conary ran fine on FC-2\/ppc, and it did so in FC-3\/ppc as well. You need sqlite3, iirc, I don&#8217;t think I used fedora.us packages then though. This was 0.10.6 though &#8211; 0.12.4 is out&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seems the FC-3\/ppc test tree got a little review at ppcnerds.
