openSUSE Leap 42.2 Linux Now Officially Available for PowerPC64le Architectures

Just one day after the official release of the openSUSE Leap 42.2 operating system, Michel Normand from the openSUSE Project was proud to announce on November 17, 2016, the availability of the PowerPC port.

Yes, you're reading that right, while many other popular GNU/Linux distributions are in discussions to deprecate support for the PowerPC (PPC) hardware architecture, including Debian Project and Canonical for their upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 9 "Stretch" and Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) releases, it looks like openSUSE still support it.

In his very brief mailing list announcement, the openSUSE developer informs the community that they can now download the official ISO images for PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian architectures of the openSUSE Leap 42.2 operating system from http://download.opensuse.org/ports/pp...
