I did a bit of digging and also found that the most recent should work fine. Therefore I will backup this unit because it has an old debian release on it and quite frankly the debian folks dropped the support on ppc64 it seems. Either way it is a struggle to work with. I am hoping the the freebsd world is far better. What is the compiler of choice on freebsd? I am goiung to guess gcc is available as well as some of the usual gnu tools for a toolchain. I did download the FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-dvd1.iso.xz file from a mirror but it looks way way too small. Shouldn't the install DVD be around 3GB in size? Uncompressed this is only 878MB. Dennishome | help
