Both with FreeBSD and other systems >(Linux)? Are they stable, all the drivers are present, etc? I've not used any of these but: 1) The Ultra 25 is UltraSPARC IIIi based. This CPU is not supported by FreeBSD as Sun will not release necessary documentation. 2) Sun states they support both RHEL and SuSE ES on both the U20 and U40 so I would expect they are stable and all hardware supported, at least on those Linuxes. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --oFbHfjnMgUMsrGjO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkf/0v0ACgkQ/opHv/APuIf4OgCeORuyvQsMANEfQ60llAXCSS67 1zEAn2PmpcrBYEh1uOrDLiP2O3LqF0f4 =1nS0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --oFbHfjnMgUMsrGjO--
