Interesting thing to know that Theo was the NetBSD's port maintainer for SPARC. The "hardware platforms" link at www.openbsd.org shows that OpenBSD has support for: sparc: Sun's Sun4, Sun4c, and Sun4m models. sun3: Sun's 68020 based Sun3 models. Very very nice :) It is true then that whatever your platform, and application, there *is* a BSD for you. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
