Thats why its sooo easy to get OS X up and running on the PS3 and the 360 :)

360? Hmm.. I suppose we are talking about the PPC versions of OSX before Apple switched to the x86 architect, right? If not, then your post is kinda misleading. But if so, then, erm, cool? Haha.

There seems to be a wikipedia article for everything now. More than I could have said there. ;)

I'm sure the original poster already knew about that, but he was asking specifically if there was going to be a PPC version of Shift Linux, a question that no one has yet answered in this thread. I'd like to know too!

There is no PPC version of Shift. PPC and Cell processors are still everywhere, and not only Apple used PPC. Shift would be great and would work fine on PPC, and the reason there is no Shift for the PPC architecture is simple: We don't have PPC hardware to build it on. Sure, we can grab PPC packages, but we can't install them onto Shift, so we can't put it together. If we had PPC hardware, putting it together wouldn't be hard.

hmm... since the proyect is now shitching to Arch, perhaps we could use the PPC port as a base too? But then again, we would need some volunteers to check that it works...

I'd certainly be willing to test it on my PS3. It's currently running YellowDog 6.1.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
