Red Hat Fedora Core 4 Linux to Run on Apple Mac mini?

Yes, according to this CNet article. After concentrating on the enterprise market, Linux maker Red Hat is returning to the bleeding edge space with new versions of Linux from its Fedora Project. First out will be Core 4 which will run on IBM Power processors "..., such as Apple Computer's Mac Mini..." says the CNet article. But the Mac mini uses a G4 PowerPC processor made by Freescale (formerly Motorola). It's Apple's Power Mac G5 and iMac G5, of course, that use a version of IBM's Power processor line. Anyway, it appears that Red Hat's Linux is headed for the Mac, if not the Mac mini. [Dana Baggett]
