    Dear Project People:
         Last Spring I purchased the BSD Mall software FreeBSD 5.0 from a local
    computer store. I would like to determine what hardware is compatible with
    this OS. Is there a set of 'White Papers', or a Hardware Compatibility List
    that can be viewed in updated form periodically? Are there different lists
    or papers for different sub-version? In other words, does 5.1 have a
    different list or papers than 5.0? What difference would NetBSD or OpenBSD
    have in terms of compatibility?

    Sincerely, Frank
