There is no (official) release of FreeBSD ported to the HP 9000. That being said, I'd suggest if you must use the HP 9000 series PA-RISC architecture, to look to NetBSD. I've used NetBSD myself on someolder pa-risc boxen, but only for the sake of messing around to be honest. I'm not certain, but I believe OpenBSD has a port to the HP PA-RISC platform as well. -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@envieweb.net
