Suggestions for porting software and other items

[Super Bisquit]

I've just openly asked if I could host a download on my repository-
not those exact words but the same general content. The reason for
this is that systems such as the PS3 and the Wii- I've almost got it
setup. And sorry, Justin, about the lag in testing the card, It's
working now in Linux but I don't have the patch reapplied to test it
out on FreeBSD- are limited in memory and can benefit from a Java
desktop or interface similar to those of a smart phone.

All in all, I feel stupid.


Aside: Thanks for putting up with me and helping me to learn about
FreeBSD, RISC, and all that hacking phracking stuff.
