Seems some are upset with my statements because I have a "@freebsd.org"
email address.  So let me expound on my statement a little.

"crap" should refer to the installation on sparc and pmax.  Not the OS
itself.  I obviously cannot comment on the OS itself since I wasn't able
to get it installed.

I stand by my "rushed" statement as I was unable to get it installed on
two different fully supported, non-experimental architectures.

And NO I don't speak for FreeBSD as a whole (incase there was any doubt
about that) I am not a core member, not did I ever say I was speaking for
FreeBSD in this thread.  I use a "Respond-to:" header that has a
freebsd.org address because I like to read my freebsd lists mail on via
my freebsd account.  That is all there is to it -- nothing more.  I like
old machines and I like to try various OS's on them.
