I wanted to clarify what the current status of
snork is, having heard all sorts of interesting
things about what it is being used as a development
machine for.
Snork currently has two development projects on it:
NetBSD-athena (which is its default boot state)
Debian (not sure how active this effort is)
The IS-linux install was a test of the installer
with a 3c905c network card. Snork was chosen for
this purpose because it didn't have a network
card on the motherboard. Basically this results
in the machine being occasionally (once in the last
three months, and at least once more in the next
few weeks) for two hours while an install runs.
If a NetBSD development machine were acquired
(I will run numbers later this week), I'd like
some of the netbsd development people to comment
on what they think should happen to snork as far
as default boot state and its utility to them goes.
(since I keep hearing people say it's useless for
NetBSD development).
