> IBM had Solaris available on PowerPC and NT for a real short time > around 94... Guess how many people bet on that combo. Uh, actually it was Sun who had Solaris going on PPC/Prep, and they had it on both AIX and Motorola/MAC h/w. It was never released, but I still have the Beta 2.5.1 CDs and boot floppies for it (from Legato- I even managed to build NetWorker for it at one point). We understood it to be Sun who pulled the plug. NetBSD runs fine on many MACs, including the multiprocessor G4. YellowDog Linux does an excellent job also on the G4s. Apple would love to see FreeBSD run on their new h/w considering their OS10 strategy. > I had a lot of PowerPC boxes here running AIX... (some with MacOS and > AIX on an IBM MicroChannel 7012 box).
