Hi folks,

I wonder what the intention about porting of FreeBSD is.
Currently there are only 386/486's supported - right?
Is there maybe an intention like "FreeBSD only supports 386/486" ?

Or are there any other plans to support Pentium or even to port 
to PowerPC? Sure FreeBSD will already run on a Pentium machine but
this CPU has some more feature than a 486 or even a 386 has, which
if supported by the OS directly may make a machine even more faster...;-)

Thanks for any hints.
