Linux: PowerPC-version of Ubuntu from version 7.04 inofficial
The Technical Board has decided that from version 7.04 the PowerPC version of the Linux distribution Ubuntu has only the status "inofficial".
This means that in future the Community Team is responsible for the PowerPC version and therefore this version may has a slower development than the official version if the team cannot perform tests and bug fixes in time.
The previous PowerPC versions of Ubuntu will be supported in limited time. As an example Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on PowerPC-servers will be supported until 2011.

MorphOS: New test version of Robin Hood
After some users of the MorphOS version reported that sometimes the game "Robin Hood - The Legend of Sherwood" freezed Gunnar von Boehn has published a new test version and asks these users to check if the problem still occurs.
The new version was created with a new compiler and is faster than the previous version. But please note that the memory format has changed. Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that old game stands can be used!
To install the game please extract the file RobinHood.bz2 and copy the it to your Robin Hood directory.
Download: RobinHood.bz2 (2,9 MB)
