Date: Fri, 05 Mar 1999 02:45:33 -0800 Message-ID: <47151.920630733@zippy.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org FWIW, I talked with Compaq a fair bit at LinuxWorld and will probably be making similar arrangements for FreeBSD if they're as enthusiastic as they actually sounded. They're particularly interested in Alpha SMP, which none of the *BSDs (AFAIK) have really tackled yet. When I think of the 4 processor Alphaserver that got stuck in customs on its way to Peter and never made it to its final destination, I sigh in depression, but anyway, perhaps it's our chance to make up for that previous lost opportunity. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
