Lower power consumptionLower power consumptionPosted Jun 9, 2005 13:50 UTC (Thu) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Lower power consumption by clump Parent article: Yellow Dog Linux sticks with PowerPC
A little off-topic, I can't see any reason Mac on x86 could hurt Linux.Probably the most on-topic comment in the whole thread :) I would say you are right, for Linux as an operating system. Some distribution may suffer (like YDL), but Linux can take on Mac OS X at any time. Still, it's a pity that we move a step closer to processor monoculture. In the end, the worst architecture wins all; right when the underlying processor is becoming more and more irrelevant thanks to free software. Indirectly, this hurts Linux.
