OVERVIEW OF CHAMPION SERVER 1.2
An incredible amount of work went into CS 1.2 (over 400 person-hours),
resulting in the most complete PowerPC Linux distribution and one of the
most professional Linux distributions for any platform. Champion Server 1.2
offers the following:
- 3 CD-ROMs: Installation, Source, and a new "Tasty Morsels" CD which
contains hundreds of applications and doubles as a bootable "Rescue Disc"
- Red Hat 6.2-based core components
- Kernel 2.2.15pre7 with improved USB support
- Latest bootloader technology via BootX, miBoot, and yaboot
- Rock-solid Red Hat installer with improved hardware support
- Updated C libraries and compiler: glibc 2.1.3 and gcc 2.95.2
- KDE 1.1.2 and October GNOME desktop environments
- Mac OS now runs on Linux with Mac-On-Linux application
- Easy system updates with "yup", the Yellow Dog Update Tool
- Revised Guide to Installation (available soon)
- with support for the AGP G4s, iBooks, iMac DVs, and in the very near
future (we're working on it) the newest Apple 2000 PowerBook G3s.
Additionally, CS 1.2 supports Synergy Micro's VME/CompactPCI solutions.
Sincerely,
kai
