Hi there
Past few years (in fact since 2.6) i installed OpenBSD on several arches
such as sparc 'n sparc 64 Dec Alpha 'n decstation even old 68k macs and
i really love to have the same OS on these .
Only my old powermac and my old indy are still running under the vendor
operating system .
Except this fairly old pc , all the computers i use are running OpenBSD.
That's why each time i can ... i donate ...
