Hi Michael,

  I believe that jail will "just work" since it's not PPC-specific (and 
in the GENERIC kernel).

  There's not been any work on compat_linux though, despite the 
excellent set of articles by Emmanuel Dreyfus on NetBSD/PPC linux emu -

    http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/05/10/linux_bsd.html

  I have glanced at the linux_base ports, though none really seem to be 
the right distro for PPC. Any ideas on that ?

later,

Peter.
