Wow. Some people still care about PowerPC. Can't wait to run a fully functionnal FreeBSD desktop on that old IMac G5.

  Sorry?! I buyd for lots of money my talosII, and yes i really care about powerpc and freebsd.

  As nix23 alluded to, there's two sides to this. FreeBSD will run on the G5, but the real target of this port is newer POWER8 and POWER9 hardware, which is much more widely available than older IBM POWER gear, is modern, and is the fastest available platform you can run with no binary blobs in firmware, if that sort of thing bothers you. Or, if you just like the novelty.

    True, he is probably better served with netbsd i think?

      The last time I tried playing with older PowerPC Macs, I didn't have much luck with any of the BSDs. Linux's hardware support is just much better there.
