Therefore I will backup this unit because it has an old debian release on it and quite frankly the debian folks dropped the support on ppc64 it seems. Either way it is a struggle to work with. I am hoping the the freebsd world is far better. What is the compiler of choice on freebsd? I am goiung to guess gcc is available as well as some of the usual gnu tools for a toolchain. Yeah we currently use GCC for PowerPC. Llvm is coming along but still needs some care. I did download the FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-dvd1.iso.xz file from a mirror but it looks way way too small. Shouldn't the install DVD be around 3GB in size? Uncompressed this is only 878MB. Dennis That sounds right. We don't have previously packages for PowerPC right now, so the DVD is my smaller than for x86. - Justin
