   If he hadn't said that, I was going to.  I've heard rumours,
though, that the newest cut of S9 dropped support for the sun4m
line.  Is that true, or just vicious rumour-mongering?

   Why in the world do people insist on loading the latest
version of L*x or *BSD on hardware that has its own perfectly
good OS?  It's like folks who want to get *BSD running on
PDP-10 iron.  WHY?????!

   Two things have come out of Berkeley:  LSD and BSD.  This
is not conicidence.

   Cheers.
