Here's what my 3100 has to say for itself: # w 8:18AM up 14 days, 20:59, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Of course, it's not completely self-hosting yet and there's a lot of work to do in cleaning up the toolset... It's not what I would consider a production environment yet but mine stays up for long periods running multi-user... I don't run X or anything yet though. The pmax port was basically done by Ralph Campbell for 4.4 and was given to NetBSD quite a number of months ago.. It wasn't until recently that interest actually increased... Subscribe to port-pmax by sending mail to majordomo@mail.netbsd.org. : * is NetBSD available via CD-ROM (actual versions)? Jon Cargill does quite a good job (IMO) with BSDisc. He's apparently released a new version that has NetBSD-1.0 on it as well as some packages put together by John Kohl. : * is somebody working on a port to the DEC Alpha ? Yes. I'm not sure what the status is but last I heard it was fairly impressive.
