Hi all,

Just wanted to check on what has changed since http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ppc.html was updated last june. Is FreeBSD ppc now usable on a day to day basis (i.e. newbie-proof) or is it still at a too early stage for that ? "G4 ibooks/powerbooks - internal keyboard/mouse not supported," is that still an issue ? Finally, I use a PowerBook Titanium (G4/667), with an external firewire DVD drive and FreeBSD would be installed on an existing partition on an external firewire HD. What are my chances ? Thanks, Edward
