FreeBSD has always been my OS of choice in general and specifically for my Sparc gear. Hence, why I wanted to donate my equipment to the project. However, I certainly have no reservations to donating the hardware to another *BSD project that can use the hardware. It would be of course secondary to the needs of the FreeBSD team. I'll give the FreeBSD offer a bit more time, until mid next week. Did you have a specific *BSD project in mind for the gear? Do you represent any of those projects? In the event that I offer the gear to another BSD project, is there any knowledge of which project is in greater need of the hardare? NetBSD, OpenBSD, <insert others here>? --Tim Pavel Dobrokhotov wrote: > Hello. > > First of all, I am not a regular FreeBSD-sparc list reader, so I beg > everybody's pardon for intruding this way. > But it has been 4 days since Mr. Nelson's generous offer, and no body > stepped in to take it, and it griefs me dearly to see such hardware > wasted, so I wanted to ask Mr. Nelson: > > On Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 03:09:38PM -0500, Tim Nelson wrote: >> If none of the devs are interested, I'll send out another > > blurb on the list offering it up for grabs to anyone else, > > although you'll need to pay for shipping. :-) > > Before giving it away "in the wild", can you consider > proposing it to an other BSD project, or you prefer donating to FreeBSD > community only? > > Regards, > > Pavel Dobrokhotov > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-sparc64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
