hi.. I am new to Fedora-ppc but I do think that there should be at
least a 13.. Really it is important for us all to have some self
respect and move forward. Although I travel too much but can arrange
a ppc unit (PowerStation) or maybe two to support this effort. I am
a firm believer in integrity and would like to support those who also
have self respect.
Please let me know how I can help. Best wishes to all, Robert.
