It's been a long time coming, and not support wireless in any modern PowerBook or iBook makes Yellow Dog a bit of a non-starter...

Sad, but true:
This Linux has expired. It has gone to meet its maker. It's a stiff. Bereft of life it rests in peace.

Fact is, those machines still represent a sizable market to YDL. Long after they're abandoned by Apple, all of those PPC chips could be pressed into using Linux

Basically the question in short is: Is there a third party JDK that will run on YDL? I know that IBM makes other Linux/Power JDK's. I just don't know if those work under YDL.
Thanks,

However, no 1.4 or 1.5.
But the 1.5 from IBM seems to be avaible on Linux/PPC

Anyone tried them ? How does Yellow Dog and Ubuntu support the hardware ?
Also, can anyone who tried running Linux on a new PowerBook can tell me if all the hardware is correctly supported ?
