I can assert that FreeBSD is used (and will in the future be used) as the server platform (along with commercial software), and NetBSD (perhaps FreeBSD) will be in the clients. The ARM platform is being deprecated for now, and we are biasing in the direction of Intel. There is the probability of MIPS or PowerPC also. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
