Comment(by kcrisman):
Oh, and would this still need someone to test that the addition of choices
for the Linux PPC actually works, or is it like some of the reviews for
HP-UX/AIX where it suffices to show that the change only affects those
platforms, and we trust the author that it behaves as advertised? Given
the ringing endorsement of PPC Linux by the author, I'm inclined to trust
him :)

Sometime I'm going to still try to install Linux on an old eMac, and then
we'll have another machine... Maybe once my home computer falls too far
behind. It already can't use the latest Flash, latest this, latest that -
SO annoying, because there is nothing wrong with it, just companies that
think it's not worth it to support older equipment. You can bet there are
still people who make parts for seven-year-old cars!
