was [TriLUG] OT: hardware question & OpenBSD Now sparc Linux vs sparc BSD.

[John F Davis]

Mike and Chris, this is directed mainly at you guys.

Like I said before, its been a long time since I ran openbsd on sparc, so I
don't know the current status of openbsd.  Anyways, how much improved is
openbsd on sparc now?  Do they have virtual terminal support now. ie.
ALT-F1 switch to term 1, ALT-F2 swith to term 2, etc.  Is openbsd
supporting sparc32 as much as it supports sparc64?  It seems that in linux
kernel land, the sparc32 is dead and that all new development is being done
on
sparc64.

Also, do you really feel that openbsd is snappier than linux?  I heard that
BSD was supposed to support the sparc architecture better linux, but from
my humble experience, I couldn't see much difference at all in terms of
speed.
