Okay. Thanks. To the mailing list: I am just trying to let people know that FreeBSD on the POWER architecture is a working although relatively new option. I'm not trying to outdo anyone, just very glad to use FreeBSD. I am wondering about what would be the minimum hardware requirements for a Java thin client on the POWER architecture. I have some ideas but they are only theoretical at the moment. I am also hoping that the links may be of help to others that are working on similar projects. My apologies if I caused any confusion or misunderstanding; I wasn't meaning to do such.
