The FSF/GNU convention is an ordered triplet, separated by hyphens: * machine architecture (e.g., sparc, 68k, i386, alpha, mips,...) * vendor (e.g., Sun, HP, IBM, SGI,...) * OS (e.g., Solaris2, SunOS, FreeBSD, Ultrix, MVS, ...) And all the letters get lower-cased, for consistency & simplicity in searching. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
