Fedora on PowerPC thinks it'll go for a walk
Is it True?Can any one make sure of that?Does that mean my PS3 with OTHEROS can revive?

I read through the Fedora discussion. It seems that they aren't too keen on PS3:

Which machine type are supported? Seems POWER7, possibly POWER6
and 5. I would imagine we would want to explicitly drop PS3 support
given it's limited memory (vs initrd) and the fact that it's not
really sustainable as a machine due to firmware changes. However, do
we support Apple G5 and Powerstation machines? (I think yes, but it's
unclear).


That's from here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/fe ... 01384.html

I would say if you want Fedora to support PS3 you should - politely - let them know. And - you better be prepared with a good argument - it's been my experience that when a project decides to drop support, they need a lot of convincing to reconsider.

Cheers,
Paul
