There are more than 2 users, but when users report problems those problems aren't really resolved. I think Alpha should stay on the main page until it is officially retired when 7.0 is released. We also shouldn't mention arm until it's actually "included" in a release which it is not yet. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
