What this means is that if you certify an OS C-2 on a "Dell 1770S", it is *not* certified on a "Dell 1771S" or a "Dell 1770R". Sun can claim certification because they are a hardware vendor, with an OS sideline, as opposed to an OS vendor. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
