Howdy Daniel? I'm running OBSD7.1 on a Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz) running on (max) 32 gig CF cards, and I'm wondering if you, or anyone else out there is running 7.3 on a similar machine. Just wondering if it's possible/reasonable or mebbe should think of freezing on 7.1? RSVP, thanks.
