When they added the 8 core bundle deal for cyber Monday, it was just

good to pass up. (As I knew I eventually would get one anyway.) So sometime in
Spring I'll have a power 9 machine I'll be using as a home server.
I also placed a preorder - 8 core w/ 32GB RAM. I've got 2 Samsung
512GB SSDs and a WD Blank 6TB on order (Black Friday deals from
NewEgg.ca, all SATA disk) that will be sitting in a corner waiting for
the big day.
I'm curious as to why Fedora has only LE now. Was there a lot
more problems
with BE or was it a case of not wanting to support two and LE got picked?
I think Java was the package that broke ppc64's back for F29.
The Blackbird's Talos II big brother supports both BE and LE, so my
hope is that the new bird continues to do so.
I'm figuring on spending some time in BE mode - both F28 and perhaps
Debian. Still playing with my PPC Macs 8^). the author of Ten4Fox
describes in his blog how he uses his Talos II for development for BE
PPC, so there is still some interest.
