PowerMac 7500 with LinuxPPC and Zope?
Hi, I would like to turn an old Mac 7500 into a Zope server. LinuxPPC installs on the Mac PowerPC using the Red Hat 6.1 linux distribution. Does anyone have any experience with Zope with this type of set up? Should I consider a different linux distribution than PPC? Thanks, Daniel

You should consider the PPC Gnu/Linux Debian distro : http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ There is already a Debian Zope 2.1.6 package at the following URL : ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-powerpc/web/zope_2.1.6-5.deb -- Serge Stinckwich -< ) Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (frozen) CNRS UPRESA 6072>GREYC>I3>SMILE /~\ http://debian.org/ Université de Caen>IUT de Caen>Campus 3>Dept Info (/ | http://zope.org/ http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/~stincs _|_/ http://zschool.org/
hi daniel, zope should build and run just fine with that setup if you get the source distribution and compile it yourself. i am running zope on a pismo powerbook using Yellow Dog myself. jens on 6/27/00 14:22, Daniel Muller at dmuller@marlboro.edu wrote:

Hmm.. sounds like fun. If pyton runs on that distribution (and it almost cerainly will) you should have no problems running ZOPE. I am currently running zope on a RH6.1 i386 install, so unless there are some major differnces (apart from the CPU, of course :) it should run like a dream.

Well, aside from Yellow Dog, are there really any other Linux distros suited to the PPC?
Thanks, Daniel
Have a better one, Curtis <dtml-var standard_work_disclaimer>

I'm running Suse 6.4 on my G3 Powerbook. Works just as fine as on i386:) --Ragnar

http://jhh.cbmi.upmc.edu/ is running Zope with Linux PPC on a blue G3. Works just fine, including products like Squishdot and Zwiki.

SuSE has just released a distribution for the PPC <http://www.suse.com/products/susesoft/PPC/index.html>. A CD is being distributed with the June issue of MacTech. Jim Harrison Univ. of Pittsburgh
Guten Abend.

SuSE 6.4 is now also available for the Power Macintosh and other PowerPC platforms. I'm very interested in knowing if Zope runs as good on SuSE/PPC as on SuSE/x86. Please try it... :-) Cheers, Nils -- nika@acm.org | nika@kassube.de (preferred) 4kassube@informatik.uni-hamburg.de | nika@on-luebeck.de
