Hmmm, we have netbsd/ppc, linux/ppc, and I assume openbsd/ppp. What does freebsd add? esp. when the last power-pc-based computers have been designed? ( the next generation of ppc will be in your car's engine, not on your desk. Thank You Know Who for that one). You're not losing much by optimizing for the pentium. At the rate we're going, it's the only architecture out there (anyone see that the Alpha is probably dead?) ron
