    Xorg doesn't compile on ppc

    It means that you will need to download the requested files into /usr/ports/distfiles. What may have happened is the download was interrupted, the path on the server/storage area changed, or even the files have been updated and not your system. Xorg on POWER/ppc has had a small bit of trouble...

    Remember Nintendo Atari et al...

    Odd, I just signed in and had the new user agreement page come up. Anyway... I have used the old Atari 400/800 for vector-line graphics, sound, and animation. The screen could be set up with five or so lines for a "terminal" type of environment while the remainder of the screen was dedicated to...

    Virtualization on PPC

    There is Xen for PPC on FreeBSD. You will need to contact the mailing list. Qemu can be used provided that the environment is able to support the guest.

    Just another idea.....

    Thanks for the information and corrections on the things I did not research sufficiently. If people were to use the native plants of the rainforest - and of other areas - then it would be better. I am living on the Chesapeake peninsula; and, the plants I had suggested would be good for this...

    Just another idea.....

    Grow hemp, maize/corn, peanuts, and soybeans. Use the maize to create ethanol. Create a biofuel - diesel or otherwise - from the other three. Add the ethanol. Booyah! High octane fuel. The crops chosen are good for crop rotation. The vehicle. Hybrid with solar panels and generators located near...
