Unix and Linux fundamentals on computers are Open Source Software designed by groups online to improve and avoid standards of more traditional business suited software. I am curious to know how Intel and Power PC's differ when implementing this type of Open Source software.We spent the past few days studying Linux and Unix What is the difference between using a IntelPC and PowerPC?
power pc's? you mean Macs. (although a few IBM think pads were developed with them)
yes what you got there is the difference between intel and ppc macs..
it's funny to think the major user of the new series of ppc g5's are xboxes bit ironic huh..
okay back to your question, the difference is the former ppc linux distro is universal binary readable the latter intel distro is basically the same as pc readable but compiled to operate in a efi (think apple BIOS) environment.
p.s ppc and intel describe the CPu system of the computer.
oh sorry yes Linux distros run well on macs,
