While technical issues, for now at least, prevent booting Mandriva on Apple hardware, a fully compatible version of Mandriva Linux “could appear sometime in the second quarter of 2006,” according to David Barth, vice-president of engineering at the Paris-based company. , which is behind the fast-rising Ubuntu Linux distribution, said that despite current technical hangups, a Mactel-compatible version of Ubuntu could be available within the next eight months, when development on the next major release of Ubuntu is expected to finish, according to Jane Weideman, a spokesperson for the Isle of Man, England-based company. Other Linux distributors are less definitive with their plans. Linux market leader Red Hat Inc. has denied earlier reports that it’s actively rewriting its Linux distribution to run on Mactel hardware…
