Hello there, I'm a Computer Science student, interested in operating systems, their kernels, low-level and systems programming. As I own both an x86 (Athlon) and PPC (Apple, 604e based) desktop computers, as well as an old Think Pad (P133), I am interested in the status of the PPC port of FreeBSD, as I am looking for ways to use my Mac as a server/development machine, since nowadays I use my much more recent desktop PC as my main work machine. I do know that OpenBSD and NetBSD both have PPC releases of their BSD based OSes, but I'll most probably be checking them all out, since I have an ADSL connection to the 'Net, and no download quotas (actually, we have a theoretical 4 gigs/month limit, but it has never been enforced...), it is not a problem to get all flavors of free/open BSDs, including Apple's Darwin. So, if you could provide me with a bit more information on FreeBSD's PPC port status, or pointers to such information, and its availability, I'd be much obliged... Thank you in advance, and a late Happy New Year !!!
