I'm writing an operating system for PowerPC Macs in order to be able to reuse them with an OS adapted to the modern world as far as possible. It will be a desktop OS taking into accout the limitaions of RAM and CPU speed of PowerPC Macs.
If you are interested you can back the project or ask me questions.

I am a complete OS geek, and the timing of this post is most fortuitous as I've just started taking a deep dive into the NetBSD world. But have to ask: why another OS? Linux has a strong following as an alternative as it is. If you are looking for a non-Linux project to back, why not work on NetBSD instead?
