I advocate against that; individual distros are free to do what want, of course, but making gratuitous incompatible changes "just because" sounds like the sort of thing our penguin loving friends over at kernel.org would go for. Having the PPC port being unnecessarily different to SPARC and x86 will lead to more fragmentation than we want, I would think. -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member -------------------------- True. You'd want to at least stick close to the source trees and diff anything needed to port the source to PowerPC/POWER architectures. I'd thought of the concept in which the Power/PowerPC port was very identical to the SXCR distribution - just focused on POWER/PowerPC based hardware. Genesi has servers and workstation hardware which allowed us this possibility. I'd like to propose the PowerPC/POWER SXCR distro based on the work from Sun Labs. I have a KMDB PowerPC debugger I'd like to propose for further development as well. Ken Mays EarthLink, Inc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
