PPC board

From: Norm Legare <hidden>
Date: 2002-02-28 22:57:50

Hello,

I have been hacking with Linux as a
hobby.  I have reached the point where
a board is needed.  Does anyone know
a good place to get PPC-based boards
for hackers?

Thanks in advance,
Norm

	Its much more fun to create your own. You'll spend numerous
enjoyable hours shooting yourself in the foot and pulling your
hair out in frustration.

If you really want to buy one instead here is a few places with
info.

http://penguinppc.org/embedded/hw-companies/
http://linux-embedded.com/hardlist.php3  (Note: more than just PPC)

You could try motorola and IBM reference boards.

	If you just want to hack PPC code get a mac and a mac
distribution like Yellow Dog or MacLinux. (Note: You might want to
check the list of compatible models of these distributions before
buying a mac)

Have Fun!!

	Conn

If you want the best of the best, then I suggest that you get a BriQ from
Total Impact.

It runs Yellow Dog Linux and you can even get MOL to run on it.

I have a BriQ and it is really nice.  But, the BriQ is way overpriced
when compared to a development board from Embedded Planet (hobbyist
mindset).

YellowDog has a yellow version of the BriQ as well...

If you don't want to pay $2k for a G4 briq (and I think they're cool,
btw.) I know this little company in Texas that makes 8245 and
8241-based boards.  :-)
