What your friend might be Im not sure to how many types of hw FreeBSD has been ported, but the POWER4 processor (Apple's G5) has something called a hypervisor on top of which the unix kernel runs. The hypervisor has some facilities for partitioning, migration of resources etc.. So, it isn't exactly a case of dumb hw in all cases. regards -kamal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
