Thats funny, because the uni. where I am at (UNSW, Sydney) the comp sci labs were originally running (and still is) a mix of decstations and labtams running SunOS, when they redid their workstations upstairs they bought p200's and stuck x86 SunOS on them, weird eh. Personally I would have saved the money bought cheaper workstations and stuck linux or freebsd on them, but what can you do when your only an undergrad, and your uni purchasing scheme is up $h*t creek. Then again I spose they were going for tried and tested, (insert remark about tired and bested here) regards, chris -- Christopher Day E-Mail the_reman@hotmail.com Homepage http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/1218 when the rain/when the children reign/keep your conscience in the dark melt the statues in the park - Fall On Me, REM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
