Perhaps not pissing on the developers would be a good idea? This list is to help organize those who are contributing something to the FreeBSD PPC project, not for every PPC owner to join the list and say "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How long till we get there?" while other people are trying to write code. Have a little respect for the people who put the work in to create the software you use or desire to use. Despite the childish nature of your spiteful comment about going to NetBSD, that's a really good idea! NetBSD has a functioning PPC port at the moment. If you want BSD on PPC now, NetBSD is not a bad choice. You can always come back to FreeBSD/PPC when the port is finished. That would certainly be more contructive than what you're doing here. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Benfield" To: "Ben" Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 8:16 AM Subject: Re: Mailing list > On Tue, Jun 25, 2002 at 01:06:08PM -0500, Ben wrote: > > I would like to know when FreeBSD would be available for ppc. > > yeah, me too.
