Hi there, I am looking for a rhel close to run on a PPC. I have used centos for a while and want to stick with what I know. I know there is a V4.0 PPC beta version. How safe is it to use? I have a server that will be going into production, and am hesitant to use a beta product (as one should never use anyways). What is the status of the PPC version? Is it going to be continued to be developed? Is it dropped as the macs have gone to an intel architecture?
Does anyone else know of a PPC rhel clone besides centos if it is not really in dev anymore?
Thanks!

The core group of CentOS developers were discussing this last week at a planning meeting looking forward to the upstream's version 5 product; I was working with PPC beta, and also was setting up a test build environment for Alpha and Sparc.
These first two are however niche architectures at the end of the day. If one is planning a production environment, it seems counterproductive to rely on an arch which is losing hardware availability.
