On their webpage at: http://www.flash.net/index.html they say that their server is "powered by FreeBSD" and they have a link to your webpage. That's how I found you! Their server may be some other kind of machine running FreeBSD. The only thing I know about their ultrasparc is that they have recently upped its RAM. Maybe they use it for the news or mail server???????? I'll have to ask more about that. Anyway I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my system. I just made a Dos partition and I'm slowly reading your webpage to see what I need to do next :-) How do you make money from this? Or is it a labor of love? Thanks!
