Noticing that Solaris seems to have a good bit of overhead that makes the systems slow down i tried out FreeBSD. Currently I have an Ultra 5 (64bit) and a SparcStation 5. I noticed that you didn't have the SparcStation 5 on the hardware supported list for sparc hardware. I was wondering if it is supported and that if it isn't if there was any way i could help. Sincerely, Chris Hellriegel _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
