I'm running Slowaris (yeah, that's the name it deserves) for over a month now. Basically for same reasons as you. The x86 and SPARC version will have minor differences as others told already.

I'll promised to myself that I run it until autumn.. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
