[Server-devel] Ubuntu XS

[Marc E. Fiuczynski]

Hello,

Fedora supports powerpc, right?!  May I suggest that the XS folks  
first get the base software working and then worry about the Linux  
distribution.  I just don't believe that at this stage it really much  
matters whether its Fedora, Ubuntu, or whatever.

Btw., I am just an XS list observer!  Martin.. all the power to you.

Marc
