I like that. Which version of BSDI binaries (1.1, 2.0, ???) can 2.1-RELEASE
run? Anything special that needs to be done to accomplish this?
Has anyone tried the BSDI binary for NetScape "Post.Office" server on
2.1-RELEASE? Maybe we can get users to post which "foreign" binaries they have
running on FreeBSD? This would be a valuable list (at least to me).
