Well, it's known as "Puma" because the PowerPC News readership voted for
that.  It's also the name of a sports shoe company, and I haven't seen
any move to call it "Puma" instead of "CHRP."  Since my home machine's
named puma, I can hardly say I dislike the nomer...  ;-)  Except that my
"puma" is an unaccelerated Quadra 700.

But we digress from comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc...
