[ale] Announcing a petition to show support for the PowerPC platform

[Steven A. DuChene]

The following came across the Linux/pmac mailing list and I thought
some folks here might be interested in promoting this effort. The
site is at least worth a look to read the excellently written
petition asking manufactures to consider Linux on PowerPC systems
since licensing MacOS has become such a hassle.

> I would like to officially announce a petition to PowerPC hardware
> manufacturers aimed at showing the support for Linux on PowerPC by the
> user community.
> 
> The goal of this is to show the remaining manufacturers that there are
> alternatives to the MacOS, and that these alternatives may prove to be a
> growing market.
> 
> So if you use Linux on a PowerPC, you should *definitely* sign this.
> So should anyone who uses Intel-Linux and believes that healthy
> competition is a good thing.
> 
> Show your support for Linux!! Sign the petition!!

> several requests)
