PowerMacs

• MkLinux for PowerMacs has a user base of well over a hundred thousands since its launch by Apple at their World Wide Developer's Conference in May 1996.
• PowerMac : The DR3 CDROM release is being finalized. The system has come out of the "bleeding edge" and now includes a full RedHat-based installation, including full shared library support, A full JDK with JIT compiler is available and Netscape Communicator has been ported to mklinux/powermac. Support for many new machines is included in DR3.
• Massive demand at tradeshows and in the Apple Company Store! eg. MacWorld, Jan '97 - MkLinux DR2 CDROMs sold out within two days at all vendor's stands.
• Apple's MkLinux Homepage continues to receive millions of hits.
• Support for PCI machines - MkLinux now runs on an even wider range of PowerMacs, including most NuBus, PCI, PCI performa and G3 machines. RealTime and MP support has been developed and is in testing.
• MkLinux DR3 is being finalized for PowerMacs and will be available on CDROM or via anonymous FTP.
• Updates are made available over the internet and announced via the Apple MkLinux Web page and mailing lists. Development work continues at Apple.
• The Open Group also maintains mklinux mailing lists for the Intel and PA-RISC platforms
• See also one of our engineer's web pages on MkLinux for PowerMacs.

Intel x86

• MkLinux for Intel x86 machines - the TOG MK source tree and MkLinux server source tree build and run on Intel x86 machines and we run MkLinux  on Intel machines here. We aren't making binary distributions available, the mklinux sources (available at Apple or from the HP distributions) can be used to generate the Intel binaries.

HP PA-RISC

Hewlett Packard has provided support for a port of MkLinux to the HP PA-RISC platform. Additional information can be found on the MkLinux for PA-RISC Web page.
