Hrmm... you think that Linux support for the PPC will get any better now? Naaahh... this guy doesn't know anything about building kernels, does he? ;)

"Torvalds, who initially created Linux for the Intel x86 platform, revealed to the Linux Kernel Mailing List in February during a discussion on kernel size reduction that his main desktop machine no longer featured an x86 processor. Hence, Torvalds said, a patch specific to the x86 platform that he was submitting to the list for consideration was totally untested."
