Hardware Donation?

[Tim Nelson]

Well, unfortunately the offered hardware seems to be unneeded officially 
by FreeBSD. :-(

So, here it is:

1) If you're involved (developer, owner, etc) of another BSD 
project/flavor, I offer this hardware to you for the cost of shipping 
only. I've benefited greatly from *BSD and open source in general and 
I'm happy to give some hardware to help "the cause".

2) If you are anybody else who simply wants some SPARC hardware to play 
with, I'll give away the Ultra 5 for the cost of shipping. As for the 
Enterprise 420R, make me an offer! :-)  Seriously, not much, but enough 
to at least cover my time since just *PACKING* the thing will be a pain. 
:-) Oh, and the cost of shipping of course.

I'm shipping from Duluth, MN USA. I'll ship via UPS, Fedex, or USPS 
(maybe they don't even handle boxes this large?).

If I receive requests from both personal parties and BSD projects, I 
will give the projects priority.

Thanks!
