While he is currently not considering those platforms, he _may_ do so in the future. Why lock yourself into one platform? NetBSD currently runs extremely well on Intel-based platforms, as well as 11 others, including the Sun 4/4c and DEC Alpha. It's good to have more than one platform in your bag of tricks :-) -- Jason R.
