SuSE first to bring Enterprise level Linux to the Apple PowerPC platform
Oakland and Westlake Village, California -- APRIL 7, 2000 -- SuSE Linux AG
and MacTech Magazine announced today that a free distribution CD of the
soon to be released SuSE Linux for the Apple PowerPC will be included in
the June 2000 issue of MacTech Magazine.
This CD will be a fully working distribution of Linux on the 2.2.14 kernel,
with SuSE's powerful installation tool as well as other open-source
software. "SuSE is very excited to be introducing the first fully
engineered version of Linux for the Apple PowerPC," comments Dirk Hohndel,
CTO of SuSE Linux. "This release utilizes our knowledge, successes, and
technologies from our existing distributions. The user can look forward to
a simple installation and a user-friendly configuration at the end of the
setup." The CD does not expire and can be distributed freely.
"With all of the buzz in the Macintosh community about Linux and its
relation to the next generation Mac OS, Macintosh techies are especially
interested in installing and exploring Linux," said Neil Ticktin, Publisher
of MacTech Magazine. "For over 15 years, MacTech has been bringing its
readers the latest information about Macintosh technical issues and
resources, MacTech is simply the perfect place for SuSE Linux, a
international technology leader in open source operating systems, to make
its Macintosh debut."
The June 2000 issue of MacTech Magazine will begin shipping in mid to late
May. New subscribers interested in receiving the June issue must start
their subscriptions before April 25, 2000 to insure delivery. Supplies of
