Gee, this group has not had a whole lot in it lately. Maybe it's time
to spark some interest with some questions?

And OF COURSE you need a server. What does the server run on??

anybody got the server up and not regularly crashing on a microvax running
Mt. Xinu 4.3 with NFS (and /V and /usr/V remotely mounted) ???

The server can run on a sun, but if you run the server on a sun, you can't
really boot microvaxen because the mvaxbootserver distributed only runs
on vaxen or microvaxen running unix, or have i missed someone solving this?
Will this problem go away if we upgrade our suns to version 4.whatever?

I understand some of these problems will go away under release 7 because
release 7 has V storage servers.  When will release 7 happen? What other
hardware will V run on? Has it been ported to a RISC processor? Which one(s)?
