I would like to give one of the OSS versions of BSD a try on this machine. The NetBSD page for the ppc port seems to indicate better support than FreeBSD's, though I'd prefer FBSD. Does anyone know how well would it actually work ? thanks! _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "I don't think they could put him in a mental hospital.
