Designed by John Grantham, of MacLinux fame, and designer of Loki Entertainment Software's web site. Running on the Apache web server and the PHP3 system, the new site is 100% buzzword compliant, and visually stunning. Grantham designed both the retro-Americana theme, and the backend that drives the site's dynamic content. While optimized for the current generation of web browsers, the site doesn't exclude older browsers. It is compatible text-only browsers such as Lynx, and the 3.0-series Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers. This was achieved through careful design on Grantham's part, which paid off in the end: the new site should be not only viewable, but useable, with any browser. LinuxPPC's Jason Haas is thrilled with the new site. "It quite simply rocks," he stated. "John Grantham's work is top notch. We're in love with the new site." About LinuxPPC Inc.
