In a thread entitled "how to get freebsd on a new board?" it's suggested that a port of FreeBSD to a new platform would cost $20-50K, presumably with manufacturer support. Let's suppose it'll cost $100K if the manufacturer won't help. There are, or soon will be, twenty _million_ Raspberry Pi computers floating about. Is there enough interest to scrounge up the ante? I've put a little in the pot and hope it helps. The donations page at https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/ makes it easy to add one's two cents' worth, hopefully more. Better explanation is at http://www.zefox.net/~fbsd/showstoppers Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
