I was totally expecting this to be something made by Raptor: https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/ https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/

  Same. Was expecting polished Debian-based OS for ppc architecture machines. Shucks.

    I would expect Raptor folks to contribute upstream to firmware, the Linux kernel, bootloaders and Debian itself, not make a fork just for their own machines. The Debian ppc64el architecture is an official release architecture so Debian supports those machines quite well already.

      That's a fair point. I guess watching System76 PopOS has biased my thinking.
      • pabs3 4y ago
        The existence of PopOS is pretty disappointing to me, they should instead be offering a choice of preinstalled distros, contributing to those distros and sponsoring those distros.

  I had somewhat of a weird moment here as well. I was expecting this to be related to Cisco Talos. And so I opened your link to find out what it was about. Only to find it mentioning CAPI 2.0 which I only know from the ISDN days (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ISDN_Application_Programming_Interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ISDN_Application_Progra...) and not as some form of I/O interface accelerator.

    We mention CAPI but certainly not 2.0 since the CAPI we are referring to is "Cluster API" and they only have 1.0.
