From Pentium I to sparc64 (I had one of these in a lab at college that no linux could make it work - any mount /cdrom would freeze it - FreeBSD 6.0 straight from cd made it a great svn+http server as it is up to now) could always run and just use it. Solid as a rock. Thanks, and thanks :) matheus -- We will call you cygnus, The God of balance you shall be
