Not sure *what* you mean by this satement. 'Real operating system'? Are you trying to be sarcastic? Not much is clear other than the fact that you need to calm down... This email list is "a forum for technical discussions related to FreeBSD. This is the primary technical mailing list. It is for individuals actively working on FreeBSD, to bring up problems or discuss alternative solutions. Individuals interested in following the technical discussion are also welcome. This is a technical mailing list for which strictly technical content is expected." --FreeBSD-Hackers List Charter Last I checked, asking about a Sparc port was fairly technical... and it was a FreeBSD port, so it did pertain to FreeBSD... simply saying the project was dead (thanks again) would have been sufficient - no need to bash any OS or get hostile. -mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
