i'm testing it for server work only sofar.

i'm not 100% shure, but there is quite some chance that you run into
endianess issues (freebsd runs as big endian, most linux distros run
in little endian on POWER, which has the advantage that since
x86/amd64 are also little that desktop software is better tested in
that mode.

i hope to be able to continue more testing as soon as some other
stuff is sorted out.
