Hi,

I'm interested in this port (as well as I'm interested in a CentOS
PowerPC port), but I don't have too much spare time left to be able to
do some work here.

However, I do have some hardware (both an IBM Power 285 and 275) as well
as internet connectivity to give, as long as it is within an acceptable
scale (I work for an ISP and have some colo space).

So, if I can be of any help hosting stuff on x86 machines, please tell
me. I could furthermore set up one of the Power machines, however it'd
surely take some time.

Best,

Timo
