1. "I've got this great [IPX|IPC|SS2|your old dead slow Sun here] that
I want to put FreeBSD on. What's supported?"
Answer: The first machines out of the gate are going to be the
sorta-high-end Ultrasparcs which are expected to drop in price to be
competetive with the x86 architecture within the next year. Non-ultra
platforms will follow later, based most likely on popularity and the
assistance of the interested user base.
(Gussied up with the correct lingo, of course, by someone who talks the
talk.. :-)
Heh...where do I send-pr this sucker? :-)
Happy trails,
Brian
