Is it possible to get shell access to a ppc64 machine with at least
1GB of RAM? I would like to bootstrap the mlton compiler for ppc64 so
it can be built for el6. (Likewise I'd need access to an s390x
machine if EPEL starts supporting that.)
I don't have a ppc64 box here, or I would offer access to it. ;(
You might try David Woodhouse <dwmw2(a)infradead.org>
He has a ppc64 box, but not sure what OS is running on it.
