hi there. afaik, FreeBSD is not ready for power usage yet : it's, from what
I gather, in a not quite booting right state, or something like that, and
I'm not really sure which machines are going to get supported, since there
seem to be one school of thought that seems to be willing to go the non-Mac
PPC way, ie embedded Motorola and IBM offerings....
Join the PPC-mailing list, albeit there hasn't been any volume on it for
the past months....
And I haven't looked deeper into using my PPC box (Apple 8600, PPC 604e) as
a server/firewall for my home, as well as a development box for PPC targets
in various OSes.
What about you ?? Have you found any interesting tidbits of info ??



thanks,

chris
