Just a point, I'm the proud owner of _at least_ 2 different current types
of Sun hardware, that FreeBSD does not work on, at least not wekk enoygh to
deploy production machines that is. Blade 1500's don't work _at all_ and
U40's are too unstable to deploy.

It's shame,as for the applications I bought these machines for, I'd prefer
FreeSBSD.
