Just read the intersting interview at BeOpen with J Hubbard ... and noticed that he has recognized the importance of supporting PowerPC. http://www.gnulinux.com/interviews/hubbard_part1.s html Is it not about time that the bsd community begins to address the issues that arise as a result of Apple's own bsd OpenSource initiative (Darwin)? With all the xtra features that Darwin has (extensible network, kernel, driver, filestore models) and a microkernel - would not the bsd world be better off if there was less forking (albeit with many ad hoc justifications) and a concerted effort to focus on one ARCHITECTURALLY clean/coherent design? OS/X goes beta this summer ... maybe one of your people might want to take a serious look at Darwin around then - because continuing a PowerPC port after that point would seem to me a non- optimal allocation of resources <I wont even get into the Darwin/x86 issue>. regards:dlf david faibish CTO intermedia development 613 232 7000 x2 ______________________________________________________ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday?
