PPCNUX will give away one Lime-Z9, a Motorola MPC 5121 based netbook, for the best proposal, howto or article related to or about PowerPC. Every registered user of PPCNUX is allowed to take part, excluding the PPCNUX Team (the people behind PPCNUX).
Three is the magic number that follows two. It took us a little bit more time as the versions fall from mozilla.org. A Thunderbird community build for Linux PowerPC in version 3.0.3. I will tell you where to find the sources, offer a link to the binary and tell you where to find more information about the installation or how to compile it yourself.
The Arch Linux folks have happily announced that they now support Apple G5s,
with a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userland. They also apparently have a much
simpler installer now as well.
Three-oh-two, just for you. A Thunderbird community build for Linux PowerPC in version 3.0.2. I will tell you where to find the sources, offer a link to the binary and tell you where to find more information about the installation or how to compile it yourself.
Last week at ISSCC there were a couple of PowerPC-related announcements: first,
IBM announced a "wire-speed"
network processor, built around 16 4-thread 64-bit embedded PowerPC cores.
Just an update to 3.0.1. But I have done it, as the PowerBook G4 has to have to compile Firefox 3.6, I queued the thunderbird build. So just enjoy an up to date Application on your PowerPC. I will tell you where to find the sources, offer a link to the binary and tell you where to find more information about the installation or how to compile it yourself.
There it is, Firefox Version 3.6. And personas do work too. After you installed them.
A new version of CRUX PPC, a port of the
CRUX Linux distribution, has been released.
CRUX PPC supports most recent PowerPC hardware platforms, including both 32-
We had some progression with Firefox. Now we like to have Thunderbird v3 too. The main issue was the "-Os" compiler option. And that the binaries compiled with Ubuntu 9.10 PowerPC weren't portable to Debian 5 PowerPC and didn't terminate as expected. But we have a backup system running Debian.
We missed 3.6b4 for a reason. I assumed that it will only be days before 3.6 will be released. And now it's another beta before years end. So I compiled Firefox 3.6b5 for your PowerPCs out there. I will only link to our howto for firefox-3.6. The only difference are the sources. And I will offer the binaries of course.
