And to make this even easier, I've got RPMS for the altivec gcc compiler
for your RPM-based powerpc linux system.

Hopefully these RPMS will be on the main altivec.org download site soon,
however if you need them before then, email me and I'll get them to you.

(I only have a 256k DSL line, so having everyone download directly from my
machine wouldn't work that well :-)

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
