Mind you, shortly mozilla 1.1 will be in Club packages.. as soon as my upload account gets sorted out, a bunch of stuff will be going up (like mozilla, galeon, evolution, etc.) > I'll head over to the club and put my votes in for PPC! > > I'd like to see another PPC release for my powerbook too.

Yup... you and me both, and many others, I'm sure. There won't be a 9.0/PPC, but hopefully there will be a 9.1/PPC. This will only come if there is enough interest from the community... discussing PPC on forum/Club and voting for packages, buying 8.2/PPC, etc. will help ensure the future of Mandrake/PPC. Personally, I would like to see a PPC release every x86 release, but the community will have better luck illustrating that *you* want that than I ever could, just by votes, purchases, etc. > I can only assume it's quieter on this list because there is no new > release pending, there seemed quite a bit more traffic existed when 8.2 > was due to be released. Yes... and cooker/PPC is in a bit of a sad state of affairs right now from my understanding, but I think Stew is hard at work to correct that. > OSX is nice, but it just can't compete with Mandrake on my G3 > powerbook. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
