It does...but, "where I work", getting FreeBSD in on the Intel boxes
themselves is like pulling teeth. I've succeeded in getting 3 ppl
converted over on their desktops, and "sliding through" a server so
far...all in the past couple of months (taken me ~2years to get to *that*
point)...but, I do have a Sparc sitting here, sitting idle...putting
NetBSD onto that *would* be sweet...
Thanks for the pointer, hadn't thought about that...will look at it
:) The more *BSDs, the happier I am :)
Thanks...
