Can't say I'd be sure when it will make the transition to tier-1, except that the more people use it as is and give feedback the faster that will happen (hint, hint). > How does bsd-ppc compare lets say linux-ppc distros, such as debian-ppc > or ubuntu-ppc, in processing efficiency? It would be interesting to compare. I'd have to say that given some of innefficiencies in various code paths (syscall, context switch etc) in FreeBSD/PPC and the much longer amount of time and larger user base that Linux/PPC has, it would be no contest in their favour. > Also I noticed that there is no "Other platforms" that I believe was > existed and from which the ppc page link could be ascertained.
