I think the list you want is freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org. There is no "sparc" port. The U5 is sparc64-* hardware. FreeBSD runs very well on the Ultra5, but not in the function the U5 was intended for by Sun (workstation). There is no VGA console/X11 support to my knowledge. Performance is as to be expected for a 360mhz RISC chip. I recommend replacing the original IDE disks with a 7200 RPM drive and an ATA100 capable cable to get additional speed. I think the controller is limited to UDMA3 or UDMA2, but even still its better than the OEM drive. ~BAS > What do you think about the performance of FreeBSD/Sparc Ultra 5? > > Thanks ! > > a.m.rossi > University of Pavia > Italia > > -- > ...In January 1998, David Garibaldi rejoined Tower of Power and continues > touring with them. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-sparc64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > l8* -lava x.25 - minix - bitnet - plan9 - 110 bps - ASR 33 - base8
