So people are actually using it as a desktop today? i'm testing it for server work only sofar. i'm not 100% shure, but there is quite some chance that you run into endianess issues (freebsd runs as big endian, most linux distros run in little endian on POWER, which has the advantage that since x86/amd64 are also little that desktop software is better tested in that mode. i hope to be able to continue more testing as soon as some other stuff is sorted out. regards, albert --WIyZ46R2i8wDzkSu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEruqE5W88aeruzKNUxGW+tDwRszcFAlxITjYACgkQxGW+tDwR szep/xAAnW1A6X7WiVEczIoZX3sFwv+5dTHBvTU2FNAEL2XGpCPtLgEIpEXtaLyp mWNlrnWYuS1ajdf6E77upDeOwd4G89DIiBARHk1a623v1wguSZ4orI3OQKNkkHdI GwQi8keS3X2OMEOgna5Msv7MfzLURt9biAmC7aw34iU7f42NDn+8/UNjMt/lOKN1 zB6EDQEKPKnaaHTKzcwPUPtNz5c9daTjx2GVH1k98kaAtEzXatTcYdHYoEfjlcv8 r9/HY8KUUEkjKb2yAUkBOGshY0Z9Zmxf8SYsvU5BF++D9jtdt1upxn2Py3P76Bqo yNO8eyBnzGr3oghWiM6d63cXGI5cilexAyj97RZ8QfnCsO3nGyQV3Ly15zQNRs6D xRbg1Pm/6ee5PqSgEcqjefjPZgNegkcmJlMMiPaFN3DBSh7/ND3iFTWo9mLSICFI 98rPULX6ehcW2vZf4G0gIzOa51qtNdoDhntbTSZdJQarOf6LZuaS0xXYQac+q2Xu vgm9sIaFfaycRPk10J5AzuCcUmtQUSzYyb/VrU46CsPBcfCJw3e8Vd6zZZHXqKxF MJGeemMzHprBz2/pyc3BYdwpt+oTdf5jnOHGuzp9QiRjsJmN2RXDy1jRW0ZlVoxs FUGIVk9uSGZ7C7TqddoXWdTfbnJYr8bD6oY9WBZu+3SpVvnrndw= =2b4s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WIyZ46R2i8wDzkSu--
