And the terms AMD64 and EM64T have a bit complicated history, so to mention the both should help the users. If you prefer "X compatible" for the consistency, why did you keep the others and remove EM64T only? As you already mentioned, there are "Alpha compatible," "PC-98 compatible," and "Sparc64 compatible." obrien> People owning Intel EM64T machines well know that it is a copy of the obrien> AMD64 platform. I think it should be explicitly stated as long as there are questions like the following: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?411B8E17.5020409 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20040807004555.14650.qmail http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200408121227.51268.jkim -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Tue_Sep_21_07_05_25_2004_645)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBT1QlTyzT2CeTzy0RAqwuAKCLrl/pncCSLUmTah2AIjS46PuVfQCfXn/4 pBZPtCcIBfPcQBLZokLKuS0= =FExq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Tue_Sep_21_07_05_25_2004_645)----
