Hello,

I can get an old PPC machine from my previous work and it is free.
I will need to install it and open access.

Do you see any interest in :
* running kdenlive and MLT remotely on a PPC machine.
* releasing PPC DVD and USB images.

Also I had a look at Mac OS computers on eBay.

It seems that we can get an old G4 with Mac OS X 10.4 for around 100€.
Would it be of any interest?

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel

Re: Free access to a Debian PPC using SSH and VNC + Mac OS G4

For example :
http://cgi.ebay.fr/MAC-G4-BI-PROCESSEUR-POWERPC-450-MHZ-ddur-30-go-dvd-o...

Should we buy it?
Anyone willing to donate 10€ or more using Paypal?

I bought the Mac G4 for 99€ (maybe +25€ shipping) and will keep it running in free access to make packages.

I will use it to test the image conversions I just refactored in MLT. Please send me mail with information.

Cool, thanks. I will pick-up the computer today and I hope it will be available on Saturday. The computer will be running on a slow DSL line, enough to use VNC in 8 bits. Leave me a couple of days.

I will probably just use ssh and render things to files to test things. I will not take on full kdenlive for ppc debugging at this time.

Okay. I am compiling mlt and kdenlive using MacPorts and it will still take some time. Then I contact you by email.
