Interesting. I always wondered what FreeBSD would be like on an SP. Are they willing to open up information for MCA, SSA and other useful devices? Rephrased, will we benefit from the current Linux hysteria at IBM? As an aside, there was some discussion in the past about the functionally useless but politically beneficial business of certification. Has anything changed and is there such a thing? IBM's backing of a FreeBSD certification would carry a lot of weight in the corporate and govt worlds. Do you know what IBM is doing with the *BSDs? -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
