I'd prefer to see an There is a german saying "Schuster, bleib bei Deinen Leisten", which means something like "Only do, what you are good at". FreeBSD is good at the i386 side. Crossplatform is not really one of FreeBSD's strongest sides. Thats where NetBSD is *the* player. And there is a port to that Compaq ipaq thingy almost finished. And to RiscPC and DNARD (Shark) and CATS and Acorn A7000 and some intel developer boards, just to mention (Strong)ARM based systems supported by NetBSD. At the end a FreeBSD port will be based on the NetBSD port. Why should we split the BSD camp even more? But thats just my humble opinion. Btw. I run FreeBSD on my PC and NetBSD on my Shark. So, I do know and love both sides. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
