Fedora Core 4 (Test 1) was released yesterday, right on schedule. New to this release is support for the PPC architecture, which is extremely gratifying. While I’ll probably hold off upgrading this x86 server until FC4 final is released, I’m tempted to start playing around with it on one of the Macs.
It also makes me wonder what TerraSoft (Yellow Dog) is thinking right about now. Their PPC distro is Fedora-based, and they have a pay-for product. Is a free Fedora/PPC a threat to their business? What can or will they offer to set their product apart from free offerings? Only time will tell.
If you’re a Mac user curious about Linux, give Fedora a spin. I like it quite a bit.
