It is my pleasure to announce beta level livecds and stages for ppc64.
The hardware

supported by gentoo-ppc64 is PowerMacintosh G5, IBM pSeries, older IBM
64 bit RS/6000s

(such as the model 260, 270, F80, H80, see linuxppc64.org for a
complete list) 

and soon IBM iSeries hardware. 


Gentoo-ppc64 is the other side of the ppc equation, it is a 64 bit
kernel as well as a 64 bit user space.  We are the first linux
distribution to offer a 64 bit top to bottom solution which is not a
toy environment. This is a significant and exciting step as there is
interest in cluster computing circles, users of java, and more
generally those who have needs of large address spaces. It's fairly
exciting to be on the forefront and continue to push the capabilities
of linux on ppc64 forward.


For those that report or track bugs across multiple architecture via
bugs.gentoo.org please do NOT forget to cc ppc64@gentoo.org. Also for
bugs marked against PPC64 please

do NOT CC ppc@gentoo.org if the bug clearly does not affect both
architectures. I've

seen a few errors in this reguard this morning and I'd rather not see
frustrated

users with bugs being funneled off to the wrong team.


Last I'd like to thank the entire gentoo community for it's help and
support. This

new architecture support would not have been possible with your
positive and 

constructive attitude for welcome new developers to gentoo, your good
works and

treating your user base respectfully and professionally. 


Regards,


Tom
