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.
