More information regarding FreeBSD PowerPC and Java binaries.

[Super Bisquit]

Okay. Thanks.

To the mailing list: I am just trying to let people know that FreeBSD on
the POWER architecture is a working although relatively new option. I'm not
trying to outdo anyone, just very glad to use FreeBSD. I am wondering about
what would be the minimum hardware requirements for a Java thin client on
the POWER architecture. I have some ideas but they are only theoretical at
the moment. I am also hoping that the links may be of help to others that
are working on similar projects.
My apologies if I caused any confusion or misunderstanding; I wasn't
meaning to do such.
