Re: [gentoo-dev] Portage Ported to OS X

[Sascha Schwabbauer]

Heya, 
I have an iMac G4 700 MHz here, running OS X too,
it isnt the fastest PPC, but the iMac often has weird problems, so its probably good if somebody tests the stuff on it. I'd like to help you out with that, maybe we should create an IRC Channel or at least a Mailinglist (Drobbins -- can I? :)).

regards
