Thank you ! I did a bit of digging and also found that the most recent
should work fine.  Therefore I will backup this unit because it has an
old debian release on it and quite frankly the debian folks dropped the
support on ppc64 it seems.  Either way it is a struggle to work with. I
am hoping the the freebsd world is far better.  What is the compiler of
choice on freebsd?  I am goiung to guess gcc is available as well as
some of the usual gnu tools for a toolchain.

I did download the FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-dvd1.iso.xz
file from a mirror but it looks way way too small. Shouldn't the install
DVD be around 3GB in size?  Uncompressed this is only 878MB.
