OpenBSD has hands down the best PowerPC support out there. I still use a G4 as an ssh/serial terminal / network scanning machine and another dual cpu G4 as a small webserver. They just wont quit and have found no reason to migrate to something else. It even handles my secondary softraid crypto

That is why I use OpenBSD. I have built packages on my PPC machines with Gentoo Linux and can confirm you may need a few cups :-) Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 3, 2018, at 8:17 PM, Rino Rondan wrote: > > Cool!! > > I will try it in PB g4, and news about freebsd 11, it is a tier 2 arch so pkg

Hello ! > I also can't use more than 1,6G of RAM, although there's more in the machine. That is normal (I have here 2 DP G5s) because OpenBSD runs only in 32 bit mode (even the G5 is a 64 bit CPU). See https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html section History. The max RAM in the G4 (G3 less) was 2 GB s

Yeah i know about it running in 32bit-mode, but even then it should be able to use more than 1,6G right? I have an iBook G4 that has a max RAM of 1,5G on hardware-basis which makes sense and all, but on a G5?! Also, did you see his dmesg? :) [...] hw.product=PowerMac11,2 hw.physmem=2684354560 hw.
