As for building the PowerPC code, cross-compiling is easy with http://kegel.com/crosstool . There are also a number of servers offering remote PowerPC ssh access: see http://penguinppc.org/dev/#remote . For run testing, we are only working on 440 host support right now, so you would need a board like the Sequoia (https://www.em.avnet.com/evk/home/0,1719,RID%253D0%2526CID%253D37101% 2526CCD%253DUSA%2526SID%253D32214%2526DID%253DDF2%2526LID%253D32232% 2526BID%253DDF2%2526CTP%253DEVK,00.html). In the future we should be able to run 440 guests on e.g. POWER5 hosts, but we've already got our hands full without that. -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
