Hi,
How easy is it to install other dedicated applications on Bubba2? For example 32bit unix apps such as an irc server (ircd) or other custom servers. Does the CPU allow 32bit apps or is it possible that some applications may not work well on Bubba?
What is your expirience? Thanks!

Re: installing other applications
Hi Koenc
It sounds like you have some *nix experience. Installing anything from repositories is as easy as - the Debian repositories have a huge selection of software built for the PPC architecture.
I've installed a fair bit from source as well, including later versions of PostgresSQL, Duplicity and such like. I've run into dependency hell here and there which can cause problems but if you know what you're doing it's usually resolvable.
