This week I'm trying to understand which is the "developer kit", everything you 
must have in the desktop near to you ;)

Please help me, so we can have an omogeneus environment.

Note 1: this is not the Tester-kit. If you are not actively writing code (or 
you don't want to write it) skip this message. Thanks.

Note 2: Suggestions? Send them to me 

        <paipai@tin.it> 

        or to 

        <freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.ORG>


Hardware
--------

UltraSparc -> if you want to develop for the UltraSparc sub-group
OldSparc -> if you want to develop for the old Sparc sub-group

This box must be avaible (possibly) every our of the day, to test the latest 
kernel code or to write code, or to test something else. You must have it 
avaible to reset it every time you want.

Floppy disk. This could be very usefull because we can do the boot using the  
floppy without writing ethernet code.

VideoCard: I don't know...

OBP: possibly the same version... but could be useful if we have different 
ones... More ideas?

Software
--------

Kernel 3.0 installed somewhere. Possibly another Operating system (Solaris, 
probably), and gcc installed on it. We must have the same version of gcc,
because this could be a problem...

Official compiler: I think gcc ver 2.7.x (suggestions?). 

Books
-----

You need these books:

For UltraSparc

.... I don't know... suggestions?

For Sparc

.... I don't know... suggestions?
