On 2002-11-08, Eric Anderson scribbled: # Here's a few things I think look "cool": # # [snip] # # We can (and should) hunt the developers of these features down and ask # for details.. Some are just "honorable mentions", but some are full # blown kick-arse features (like snapshots). Where is? :) - Cardbus support - FireWire support (which recently got brought down to -STABLE) - Additional platform support (sparc64, mips, and possibly macppc) I can't think of anymore right now... but those right there entice me, mostly when I have a Sun Ultra 10 that's just dying for FreeBSD. CardBus support is a huge boon for mobile users as this opens the door to 802.11a wireless cards, 10/100 Ethernet cards and (for me) USB 2.0 and FireWire add-on cards for laptops. -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
