Actually ... one more thing to add ... you say that Sparc/Linux and Alpha/Linux are `actively being worked on'. Well, NetBSD's Sparc and Alpha ports are also `actively being worked on', and already _work_ :-) Indeed, NetBSD 1.0 shipped with a fully-working Sun 4c port, and the next release will support a fair number of the older Sun 4 systems. -- Jason R.
