Well, none of the existing ports were really that close to how the pmppc looks. The pmppc ports shares most of its code with other ports, of course (that's the whole point).

Depends on who "you" are. People in Japan can run it.
But the fact that it's not generally available is one reason that we (= NetBSD people) have not really promoted this port.

You obviously have no clue what tagged unions mean. Thay are *tagged* which means that you can
tell which variety of union you have so it is
perfectly safe to use, e.g., in pattern matching.
Of course you can put several Ethernet adapters on USB. At least with the *BSD drivers. Just remember that the total bandwidth of USB is not that incredible. But it should work fine for your application.
Do you actually know what you are talking about, or are you just making this up? Last time I looked at quantum algorithms it was far from clear that random search problems can be sped up like that. Some forms of database search go from O(n) to O(sqrt(n)), but that's not a fenomenal speedup for searching encryption keys. RSA is in trouble, of course, since there actually exists an efficient algorithm for factoring. As I understand it, the tricky part of quantum computing is to actually extract useful information when you finally observe your quantum state. Just being able to operate on a vast number of initial states gives you nothing if you can't extract something at the end. If you have a reference to the result you claim I'd be very interested.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone!
I've not laughed so much in a long time. I'm
not sure who is trolling and who is not, but it sure is funny.

You could always run NetBSD on the box instead.
It has support for all USB-Ethernet adapters.

Nonsense. NetBSD runs just fine on USB only machines like the iMac. And a USB only Intel box should not be any problem either.
Perhaps you should try NetBSD. It has had USB support for about 1 1/2 years now.
If you want working USB drivers you might want to try NetBSD.
