The GNU system atop the Darwin kernel and core services. Unfortunately I don't have web access at this current point in time (waiting for DSL, for some reason University of Western Ontario's dialup only occasionally deigns to give one access to the web), so I can't tell you anything more. AFAIK, though, this is still very much under development and probably not the sort of thing to install on someone's machine at an installfest. They're concentrating on getting everything to work at the moment, not packaging everything nicely. You're probably better off going for a GNU/Linux distribution which does support PPC. Debian's PPC support is supposed to be pretty good, for example. Andrew.
