Re: considering i386 as a tier 1 architecture
From: Eitan Adler Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 00:48:08 -0400 Subject: considering i386 as a tier 1 architecture To: freebsd-a...@freebsd.org, FreeBSD Hackers should drop support for the i386 architecture for 10.0 to tier 2 and replace it with the ARM architecture as Tier 1. don't care for i386, don't use it anymore. Is ARM really ready for tier 1? Including the ports infrastructure? Installation images?

analysing ia64 core dumps

I've tried very hard to get a pccard with an atheros chip, but you just can't trust the label. Guides like e.g. this: http://atheros.rapla.net/ are unreliable.
