tlug: LinuxPPC

[Tim Meggs <tim@example.com>]

Just saw this announcement on the net.  Thought it might be of interest to
some.   One day I hope to have the time to try it out.
[Previously LinuxPPC only supported PCI Power Macs with 601/603/604 CPUs]

Note.   LinuxPPC is not the same as the MkLinux for PPC being developed in
conjunction with Apple, but I think it is sometimes also known as 
Linux-pmac.
