   <= META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html;
   charset=3Dus-ascii">= Hello list,
   I just acquired (aka bou= ght on ebay) an IBM rs/6000 43p-260. So far
   it has AIX on it but I'm going = to give Debian/ppc a spin as well.
   Having been using FreeBSD for quite a lo= ng time on x86, I'm
   wondering right now to what (if any) extent it might be= possible to
   load this onto the rs/6000. I'm guessing there are architectur= al
   differences between the IBM and the FreeBSD-targeted Macs  but then= ,
   how much trouble would it be to adapt  the sources according to the=
   specs of this machine and "port"  it ?  Since both  operate= on
   powerpcs  and open firmware, this should  be  possible,&= nbsp;
   shouldn't it?
   P.S:  sorry for the rather clumsy English im wr= iting, I hope I got
   my question across in an understandable way.
   Thank y= ou for reading this,
   Tristan Kessner
