Fedora on the PPC Platform

In recognition of the wide availability of the Power architecture, The Fedora Project decided to simultaneously release a PPC version of Fedora starting with Fedora Core 4. Fedora Core 5 continues in this vein, and now you are able to run Fedora natively on Apple hardware such as PowerMacs, iMacs, and the Mac mini, not to mention the very tasty PowerBooks.

Of course, now that Apple has moved across to Intel processors, it has left a large gap in the Power market. Vendors such as IBM and Genesi will still produce and in IBM's case, develop the PowerPC platform beyond the current crop of G4- and G5-based machines.
