There is a new arch comming around called BeBoxes that is based on multiprocessor PowerPC Chips. ( http://www.be.com ) The Linux camp already has a port ready to go... I am wondering if anyone here is looking at this? I realize that the NetBSD camp is probably more acclimated to doing somthing like this... but if this idea catches on.. it could be an upgrade path for our camp. -branson -- ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?
