Phil has already posted the announcement, but I think this is also worth a blog entry.
We've finally fixed all our blockers for the alpha release of F-16 for PowerPC, got all packages properly signed and synced to the mirrors !
So, if anyone has a PowerMac or an IBM PowerPC that is catching dust because you don't know what to do with it, now is your chance to get the latest Fedora version on it and help out with testing.
You can grab the DVD or netboot images from one of the mirrors for F-16 Alpha for PPC (32bit) or for PPC64 (64bit). PPC64 is our main platform that we develop and test our packages and installer on, 32bit installs are unfortunately completely untested as we don't have the necessary hardware for that.
Report any issues that you find during testing in bugzilla, but please make sure that you set the architecture to 'powerpc' so that we can find your report.
