If by MIPS you mean the Silicon Graphics machines, then yes. FreeBSD has a MIPS port in the works, but as far as I can tell it's still considered highly experimental. However, you may want to help out if you have the time ;-) OpenBSD seems to have limited MIPS support: 64-bit only, so an O2 will work but an Indy probably won't. NetBSD just works. I've had it running on two SGI Indy machines without much of any kind of trouble. But then again, NetBSD runs on just about everything. Hope this helps, Alphons -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. If you want to experience the element, get out of the vehicle.

I believe WRT54G uses a Broadcom R4KC-based SoC which has an MMU and can run BSD. The FreeBSD MIPS port works on a variety of boards but not nearly as many as netbsd. If you want something that might work w/ minimal effort than look at netbsd. If you're willing to put some effort into board support then FreeBSD can be made to work. There are people working on adding more platforms; mostly embedded (e.g. not sgi). Sam
