Re: Linux Requirements?

[Yennie]

Hello,

I'd like to maintain one machine here to test my Rev projects on Linux. I already have an extra G4 Powerbook which could handle a PPC Linux version.

Question is- is it worth working with a PPC Linux, or am I better off getting a cheap x86 machine? For one, the latest pre-release has a Linux Intel distribution available, but not PPC. I can imagine this is right in line with demand, so would relying on PPC builds put me behind the curve?

Finally, when it says "Linux Intel", excuse my ignorance, but does that rule out any particular flavors of Linux? What about a x86 machine that's not Intel?

TIA,
Brian
