| <Davo_Dinkum> Greetings. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> !PowerPC | |
| <ubot3> ppc is PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Ha! Not for long. | |
| <MistaED> intel wins | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> There was a competition? | |
| <MistaED> out of all the architectures | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What do they win? | |
| <MistaED> dominance, money and chicks | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> elkbuntu: Should probably change the bot to reflect future PowerPC support for Ubuntu. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> They already had dominance. | |
| <MistaED> more dominance then | |
| <purserj> Umm lets all remember who did the original x86 architecture, it wasn't Intel | |
| <elkbuntu> is ppc edgy officially supported still? | |
| * elkbuntu cant remember | |
| <purserj> I don't think so | |
| <purserj> I think its due for dropping | |
| <elkbuntu> purserj, but dropping when? | |
| <elkbuntu> is my question | |
| <elkbuntu> i know it's being ditched, but i cant remember if it's a community port for edgy or not | |
| <purserj> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCReview | |
| <purserj> don't know that bit | |
| <elkbuntu> !ppc | |
| <ubot3> ppc is PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture. | |
| <elkbuntu> i hate this bot | |
| <elkbuntu> it went to ubotu fine | |
| <elkbuntu> !no, ppc is PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up until edgy, and is now a community port. | |
| <praetorian> no, ppc sucks | |
| <praetorian> :P | |
| <siccness> Go to hawks :) | |
| <siccness> *the hawks | |
| <cafuegr> praetorian knoweth not that of which it speaketh | |
| <siccness> interesting thing about ppc / ubuntu | |
| <cafuegr> well, the only one you can buy is a ps3 these days | |
| <praetorian> cafuegr: do so | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> elkbuntu: Officially dropping PPC support from when 7.04 is released: http://penguinppc.org/ | |
