ABSTRACT:
PowerPC (aka PPC) is not just another arch, it's the arch Apple has 
abandoned and plans to stop supporting. Because of this, Linux may
be _the_ future for the PowerPC architecture, but what is available for
PPC architecture now? What are some differences between x86/x86_64
architecture and PPC systems? Also, what are dual boot options
available for PPC? Find out this and more this Saturday.

Schedule:
10:00 AM: Doors open - coffee, OJ and donuts served
11:00 AM: Presentation - Linux on PowerPC
12:00 Noon: Pizza Lunch, $5 contribution

See you there!
