Added a comment. Please note that G5 32bit is rock solid, I'm running |
| 19 |
java, kde, gnome, koffice, kdevelop, openoffice-ximian, windowmaker, |
| 20 |
fluxbox, xfce4,... all on my G5. |

(That vim thing is solved in ppc unstable.) The only thing required is |
| 22 |
run ldconfig before emerging vim. |
| 23 |

| 24 |
Use a 32bit kernel with 32bit userland, 32bit G5 support is extremely |
| 25 |
stable. The 64bit ames kernel is quite unstable for 32bit. |
