Does >gdb work again? gprof? CVSup? Java won't work, of course. CVSup works. It doesn't work on PowerPC, but it does on sparc64. And there seems to be a lot of progress on 'csup' lately (that's the rewrite of cvsup in C). Obviously different people will have different packages that they need. For *me* and my needs, the sparc64 port is fine. What isn't fine for me is that I'm running it on a slow ultra-10, but that isn't freebsd's fault! :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
