[ale] I bought Libranet 2.8.1 yesterday. One word, awesome!!

[Greg]

All 3 BSD's (Open, Free, and Net)support nearly all architectures
(386,sparc,sparc64, etc....).  In fact, I thought NetBSD's claim to fame is
to support the most architectures.  Choice is good.  I like being able to
use one OS on systems of differing architectures.
