Oh yes, that's right, hosted out of www.squirrel.com.  I knew I knew that
name from somewhere...

BTW Mark (if you're listening), I have a chunk of code to do hostid
spoofing via procfs for people who need to move licensed static bins and
who don't want to trample on the kernel.  Had to move a (legally licensed)
WAIS server off of a dead machine last month so I put it together as an
exercise.

I'm trying to keep it in the same style, but I also want to add more
introductory and FAQ material to address many of the questions that pop up
in comp.sys.sun.hardware.  It's slow going, unfortunately, I haven't done
much but add entries for Ultra h/w and compile more hardware trivia.

I know for a fact that I don't have the time myself to do a complete job,
if anyone else feels up to doing a bit of writing too then I think we
could do better.  Maybe even a CVS repository split up into subsections
for a team effort?
