I just wanted to send a note of thanks to both the FreeBSD developers and
the FreeBSD user community.

Last night I used the nfs mounted /usr/src & /usr/obj capability to build
4.7-RC on my dual 1Ghz PIII and installed it on my wimpy AMD-K6 300 this
morning.  It worked flawlessly.  The alternative was to wait something
like 3 weeks for the K6/300 (w/ only 64M RAM) to finish buildworld /
buildkernel.

Thanks a bunch for a wonderful operating system.

P.S.  The AMD machine is actually a ThinkNIC (www.thinknic.com) box hacked
to accept a 2.5" HDD and an "upgraded" CPU.  It is a very cute little box.
