I am more interested (truthfully) in using FreeBSD on some embedded control processors we have that happen to be based on the Digitial EBAS-285 design. Linux runs nicely on these, but it would be fun to get FreeBSD running on them also. I think the two OSs can leverage stuff from each other quite nicely. -- Kyle Mestery | StorageTek's Storage Networking Group mestery@visi.com | http://www.freebsd.org/ mestery@netwinder.org | http://www.netwinder.org/ Protect your right to privacy: www.freecrypto.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
