Sure, with the EFIKA/Open Client. It *is* happening. We would like to tell you more, but cannot yet. This ought to let you know what you need to know for now...
See the Open Client on the left. Google _open client_ to see more detail.

Did you ask at Fedora too? Because I don't remember any discussion between the developers and PPC is one of our supported architectures.
I'm not sure Fedora as a community-based distribution is going to stump up the quarter of a million dollars to produce the number of boards we want to produce at the price we want to sell them to everyone ($2500 is a lot of money for such a board, but 100 units is very very low compared to how many IBM JSxx blades are sold every month.. which Fedora probably has an easier time justifying developer support for)

I was decided to buy one for the first annouced price $1500. |

Hi Dan, we wish it was that easy. Having been through the Pegasos experience - from idea through deployment and revision to retirement - it takes many more single buyers than you might imagine to make a business out of hardware - ask Apple. If the business is hardware, there is no business. Think iPod as a means to an end and not an end in itself - and that was a success out of many failures. What happened to the "commodity PC" market is happening now to the server business. The big players are feeling the pressure. You can see the (big) changes ongoing and coming... R&B :) |
