BLASPHEMY! Man I hope you are not serious. I would take a PowerPC chip over Intel compatible rubbish any day. 128 bit vector procession on the G4 rocks.... Apple has new machines at 733Mhz and it comes with a Gigbit Ethernet card. Not that I can afford the switch to use it but if you are into clustering applications and stuff this system is ideal. I never cared much for the Mac GUI/Environment and found that running linux was the best way to get maximum value out of a Mac. I have heard that FBSD is has PowerPC support on the way. If this is true I'd like to get me an IBM RS/6000 and a Mac to try it out. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
