Lets leave FreeBSD/PPC to those wanting (dreaming) of native FreeBSD running on the PPC-s. Not just PowerMacs (ok, so what that they are the dominant variety) but also CHRP and embedded PPC boards. For examples, look at PIOS-s page and Motorolas board products page. Sander There is no love, no good, no happiness and no future - all these are just illusions.
