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. Not to mention the Sun4m series, also being actively worked on for NetBSD. NetBSD on a SPARCstation 20... very nice indeed ;-). --Aaron -- Aaron B.
