A Slackware for your Macintosh, or Slackintosh, is a Linux distribution designed to run on your PowerPC-based hardware. Version 11.0 was released today: "We are proud to announce that Slackintosh 11.0 has been released! Slackintosh 11.0 includes Linux 2.6.17.13 with glibc 2.3.6, KDE 3.5.4 and much more. The installation CD also includes two bootable 64-bit kernels." The new release means that security support for the older version 10.1 will be discontinued; users still running that version are encouraged to upgrade to either 10.2 or 11.0. Also please note that due to a Qt version bug in Slackintosh 10.2, users upgrading from 10.2 to 11.0 should first uninstall Qt before proceeding with the upgrade procedure. For more information please read the release announcement and release notes. Download from here: slackintosh-11.0-install-dvd.iso (3,041MB, MD5); also available via BitTorrent.

Development Release: Slackintosh 12.0 RC1 |
 |
Adrian Ulrich has announced the first release candidate of Slackintosh 12.0, an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to Apple's PowerPC computers: "I've uploaded some Slackintosh 12.0-BETA ISOs. Please note that this ISO release is not final and not tested very well (but installing it on my iBook2 worked just fine). Please give it a try and report bugs! Disk1 + Disk2 are needed for a system with X.Org. Disk1 is fine for servers. The DVD contains everything (including sources). The source-tree is almost frozen, only minor (if any) changes will happen until Slackintosh 12.0 is released. If you are running 10.2, upgrade now, 10.2 will be unsupported after the 12.0 release." Read the brief release announcement for more information. Download (MD5): slackintosh-12.0-install-d1-rc1.iso (634MB), slackintosh-12.0-install-d2-rc1.iso (516MB).

| Random Distribution | 
N-iX Desktop Linux
N-iX Destkop Linux was a Linux Distribution based on Fedora Core. You can download the ISO images and just have a N-iX customised version of Fedora with some additional stuff, like Java, Flash, Adobe Acrobat Reader, K3B and other software working right from the box. You don't need to search and install those programs. But if you also want to run N-iX tools, like XPlat Messenger Client, Cross Network Client you should buy a licence for N-iX Desktop Linux.
Status: Discontinued
