I'm a little confused about the status of FreeBSD on UltraSparc.
This page says it is a fully supported Tier 1 platform:
http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/sparc.html
However, the words "Tier 1" link directly to this page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html
Which says that Sparc64 is only a Tier 2 "development architecture".
Which is correct?
I am considering running FreeBSD on a Sun Fire V210 UltaSparc system. My
whole reason for wanting to put FreeBSD on this box (which currently
runs Solaris 10) is to run bind and build ports.
So I guess my question is this: (1) is FreeBSD an acceptable OS to run on
this Sun box and (2) will I have any major problems building ports?
