I agree that we should make the switch in -STABLE immediately after FreeBSD 4.5 is released. Every other x86 Unix I've been exposed to has been using X4 for over a year. The arguments about older supported hardware do not hold water any more since X4 supports so many newer chipsets out of the box that X336 can't handle. - Murray --/unnNtmY43mpUSKx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8MQE9tNcQog5FH30RAtVIAKC3twr4JyjyeRFDBHySZne3lmK28ACeJ3QS 7jA3krand305ypYjvkIdXMc= =Et70 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/unnNtmY43mpUSKx-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
