There is a port of the Hurd to the PPC running OSF Mach, which I have been working on for a while. A little info and some patches for the Hurd and glibc (from August) are on http://huizen.dds.nl/~pjbruin/hurd/. It basically runs, but it's not very stable and many things don't work yet. Only older Macs are supported, i.e. the ones that can run MkLinux. In order to run the Hurd on newer Macs there is a project, started by José Marchesi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and me, to port the OSKit to the PowerPC and then adapt OSF Mach to use it and get the Hurd to run on this version of Mach. There is a Savannah page on http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/hurdppc. This project is still in a very early stage, however. We had a discussion about the licensing some time ago; the license is not GPL, but it still seems to be compatible with the GPL, and after consulting Richard Stallman we concluded it's OK to use OSF Mach. If you would like to work on a port of Mach to the PowerPC, then you should probably choose this project. Unfortunately I've been too busy to work on it for the last months, and I haven't heard from José in a while either, so some help would be very welcome.
