* Jim Freeze <jfreeze@freebsdportal.com> [20011018 15:41]: writing on the s=
ubject 'Why does OSTYPE=3Dfreebsd4.3 for FBSD4.4R?'
| Hi:
|=20
| I have FBSD 4.4R installed. While looking at the environment
| variables today, I noticed that OSTYPE=3Dfreebsd4.3.
|=20
| Is this correct?
|=20
| env
| ...
| MACHTYPE=3Di386--freebsd4.3
| HOSTTYPE=3Di386
| OSTYPE=3Dfreebsd4.3


While it really doesn't bother me, I'd be interested in knowing why, just
like you ;-)

"Dear Mr. Seldes:  I cannot remember the exact wording of the statement
to which you allude; but what I meant was that ... a man who calls
himself a 100% American and is proud of it, is generally 150% an idiot
politically.  But the designations may be good business for war
veterans.  Having bled for their country in 1861 and 1918, they have
bled it all they could consequently.  And why not?"
		-- George Seldes, "The Great Quotations"
