Fedora Summit

Mostly, the fact that we install a bunch of ppc64 packages is no more of an issue than the fact that we install a bunch of i386 packages on x86_64 installs. Disk is cheap. There's only a few packages which really have problems with that -- and I don't really include firefox in that since it's just a simple packaging bug and easy to fix. The Eclipse one was just a case of being able to find the right version of gcj too, wasn't it? So not using /usr/bin/gcj for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions? I'm fairly sure the KDE one will boil down to something simple too, although I'm not entirely sure what you were referring to there.

Unless I'm missing something, it just isn't that much of an issue. And it certainly doesn't have to be an issue for Fedora, since we don't have to be so strict about shipping every devel package for PPC64. That was a RHEL thing.

You should have access to the Cell blade, and hopefully we'll arrange a PS3 some time soon too. If you don't have access to a Pegasos, I'm sure we can arrange that. Other new hardware I mentioned was 'upcoming', and not yet actually supported -- but obviously we can try to make sure you have access to it as and when it becomes real.

Yeah, grub2 would be cute. I'm happier when end-users don't actually have to touch the bootloader at all though.
