Ok, I'll bite a second time.
I still don't understand the compelling reason to use an old version of
BSD on non x86 hardware. What specific benefit are you getting from
your non-standard / non-traditional hardware setup? Is it...
(a) the cool factor?
(b) doing it "just because"?
(c) mental masturbation / learning how to do something new?
(d) more suited to a particular task?
(e) because it's categorically "better"?
(f) because it gives you the fuzzy wuzzies?
(g) other
Personally, I played with Slackware for a combination of (b) and (c), as
well as the help I got from the community at the time. For me now,
Debian/CentOS-based distros work "better" for what I do on laptops and
enterprise servers. Some of the Slax builds I've seen might be
classified as (d) (e.g. Backtrax, Ophcrack, etc). Personally, Ubuntu
gives me (f) because I like it's overall build philosophy and the
attitude of the community.
Is it possibly (d) or (e) that you're essentially saying? I can't tell.
If so, please explain, as we all would love to know more. So BSD 4.3
fits like "hand in glove" to your soi-disant "HAXen" hardware
because....? BSD 4.3 is the "true and pure" version of nix because....?
