How difficult would it be for me to port JAVA to FreeBSD on the Power(PC) platform? I don't know code but I can use another port as a a template. I've just joined the IBM POWER community and have access to the Linux version of JAVA. Second. I recently met a gentleman from NASA; I'll get back to this in a minute. Anyway ...., NASA's programs are open sourced now. One program/suite that would probably work better on either the Power(PC) or SPARC architecture is S4P. After talking with the person in question, I learned about NASA's internship program. I'm just curious as to whether or not there is a need/want/desire for having FreeBSD systems in such an area. Way of topic: Does anyone think that combining the SPARC and POWER architectures into a single cpu would be beneficial?
