Anyone interested? They recently cleaned up their PPC branch, though it's still way behind x86. Personally, I think it would be a great OS for people who are a little less comfortable with command lines, and I enjoy using it too for how simple it is, how fast it is on my Pentium M laptop, and how it doesn't recognize its panel and lets me use it at 85 Hz. Hardware support isn"t amazing, however.

I recognize their PPC efforts are focused around Macintosh, but there was a little bit of talk about OpenPOWER hardware on their forums and the response was basically "the only reason it couldn't be done is nobody's doing it".

MPC7500:
Would be cool. In the past there was an attempt to port it to ppc64le without success.

I'm quite sure they wouldn't mind the port. But I have a real PowerPC BeBox, so that satisfies my jones.  ;D

lepidotos:
I'd want to contribute, but don't have any hardware to test on. I have nearly a whole Blackbird except the mainboard and CPU.

ClassicHasClass:
Stupid question: if you don't have the mainboard or CPU, what do you have instead?
