Note that the hardware list for the most recent release is also linked off the top-level page on the FreeBSD Web site, so it's not like this is a big secret. Having said that, I've just added a link to the Release Information page on the Web site, where you can find the hardware lists for all FreeBSD versions on all architectures. This change will be reflected in the on-line Handbook within the next day or so. Thanks for the suggestion, Bruce. --==_Exmh_-1850683272P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5+ 20020506 iD8DBQE9Znzs2MoxcVugUsMRAlhVAJ0V3aluupVT5og8wIytmOOi5H5J5ACfV7vF poJPcwkfT3+wpcuvuSTE2eU= =KS39 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1850683272P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
