Don't get confused by the fact that the majority of the NetBSD platforms are sub-architectures. I'm talking about 25 unique CPU architectures. Or is it 20. I haven't looked in a while, the tree is there for anyone else to look at :) And even then, I think just the pure number of variants of ARM and PPC that we support is greater than NetBSD's sub-arch support too... thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
