I know the project has been going for a while, but I haven't really been paying attention. However, after logging in and checking out Compaq's machine, FreeBSD looks pretty much all there. I Need to upgrade a development (web/sql) server, but I'm not too happy with Intel's Pentium III serial numbers and so I wouldn't mind getting out of the Intel market. And Athlon, well.. maybe. I don't like how the AMD chips run so hot. - Nathan Kinsman nathan@kinsman.com [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 0 1 0 + 0 *H 0t0ݠ, 180 *H 010U VeriSign, Inc.1 0 U VeriSign Trust Network1F0DU =www.verisign.com/repository/RPA Incorp.
