CRUX PPC 2.6 released

[acrux]

CRUX PPC 2.6 is now available. It works on Apple 32bit "NewWorld" G3/G4 and Apple 64bit G5, Genesi PegasosII and Efika, Acube Sam440ep, IBM RS/6000 CHRP (604e), YDL Powerstation, IBM Intellistation POWER, and IBM pSeries RS64/POWERn.

CRUX PPC 2.6 is, as usual, released via two different installation ISO: 32bit and 64bit. The 32bit version is based on a single lib toolchain instead the 64bit one comes with a multilib toolchain. These two versions share the same ports tree.

See the download page!

I use a simple startup program on my OldWorld G3 Mac, it loads the kernel I
point to (stored in the Mac filesystem). Do you know if I can successfully
boot using it? Probably not tested, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
