And since we have a architecture port of >FreeBSD coming/available ;) Problem is, Sun hardware is uncharted territory for me. I don't know what would work for my application, which is about 3 heavy duty Netscape servers. The PII-333 128mb that I have running NT 4 Workstation right now crawls.. I know it's not the machine either, because mine running 95 is faster, and my FreeBSD box running with only 32mb runs faster than all 3.. So I guess a more appropriate question would be, what would apply to the purpose.. and if FreeBSD is going to be ported to Sparc, when, and will it do Solaris binaries? :-) --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
