Good morning! Today, the last part of the #OpenBSD/sgi story is available.

In this episode, hardware conditions documented as "Can't happen" happen, and support for one particular CPU model "everyone agrees will never get supported by free software" gets nevertheless written.

Read it at:

You can also now read the whole story in one page:

I'll return to the usual "new material on wednesdays" schedule next week.
