I don't think that the 2.4 kernel for PPC can do 64 bit, but I am not absolutely sure about that. I would wait for a while before putting the 2.6 kernel on any production system.
You probably know this, but a 32 bit kernel can only use 4G of RAM on PPC. Did I say only 4G! Wow! I remember systems that only supported 64K of RAM. -----Original Message----- From: Arty Ecock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: New Mac G5 Hi, I'm considering replacing several existing development workstations with a single G5 Mac. The G5 would run Linux natively with the following applications: - Mac-On-Linux (for running Panther and Jaguar) - Hercules (to replace my aging P/390) - Bochs or Wine (for running those few Windows 2000 apps that have no native Linux client) - I would *LOVE* to be able to boot AIX on this thing, but I have no idea if that is possible Has anyone any experience with the G5? Any advice? Cheers, Arty P.S. I'd load the G5 to the gills with RAM and DASD.
