MPC620 needs to be reinstated . On a biosynthoid/android you would have eight five core chips for the top part and eight five core chips for the lower part. This would make the basic brain stem of the biosynthoid. Merge Debian and FreeBSD together on the POWER architecture. The boot loaders will need to be done in a standard language of FORTH. FreeBSD will be the base/core system with Debian running as user through the hypervisor. This will allow bare metal and virtual to run as one without trouble. I'll get to the XOrg layout later.
