Perfect timing! I've been struggling to install Fedora on a PowerMac
quad-G5 much of this weekend. Burning another install disc as I type.
My interests are software development and graphics. The recent interest and
reason for installing is to optimize some common libraries for VMX. Don't
own any newer Power hardware, just several PowerMacs (G3 to G5) and two
QS22 blades.
Running and enjoying Fedora on Intel/AMD machines. Would prefer to run
Fedora on PPC but open to any distro that is up-to-date and works. Latest
Debian is giving trouble too, so it's still a toss-up!

Greetings!
There's some interest here (at Seneca) in Power, specifically OpenPower,
and I was wondering about the state of PPC support in Fedora. From Koji it
looks like there's a good bit of package building activity (mostly via
shadow), but looking at the mailing lists and wiki things seem really
quiet, and the wiki says there hasn't been a PPC meeting since FUDcon 2013.
Thus a couple of questions...
- What level of support is there for OpenPower in Fedora PPC? (I'm
thinking about boot processes primarily).
- How much interest in there in PPC generally, and OpenPower in particular?
- Where is help needed/wanted?
Thanks--
-Chris
