	thid may be a bit off target, but several years ago i was
	into porting the freebsd kernel over to the debian world.
	besides keeping up my cheerleading, i actually did about 27%
	of the libc port.  then things began fading.  there may well 
	be a debbsd that was abandoned.

	google around if interested.
