Re: freebsd support

Is FreeBSD PPC available? I don't think so.

Depending on the hardware I end up with for my new job I might be able to do this, or else I'll look into freebsd ppc on an a B+W G3 which would be a reasonable start, I won't be able to do that for a few months though. I have several FreeBSD machines (Intel, AMD) and could easily dedicate something like a Duron 1GHz to the task if required. that would be great! Just tell me what you need and I'll get to it. The main things are a machine that we can regularly build darwinports itself on, use to test fixes for any cross platform brokenness and to use as a build machine that can used to build all the ports on to verify which ports work on freebsd, and if they don't, what needs to be fixed. many thanks for the offer Ok, you guys have Macs, right? Have you tried FreeBSD on Virtual PC? It's superb. You can have multiple instances, each a completely different install, so you can track -CURRENT and -STABLE releases. If you need a quick BSD machine for little cost, it's the best way. -- Jared Earle, Nightfall Games, jared@xxxxxxx - http://www.23x.net "Smell the fragrance of the feathers of the angel of SPORK!"
