But powerpc64 has a (hardware) future and sparc64 doesn't. I run both at home, but not the powerpc64 continuously. (Actually first typed "4U" it as "$U". Same idea.) So, I'm willing to help keep it going (and even loan a machine to the effort), but I am overcommitted in other areas already. mcl _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arch To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
