Btw, I would like to send a heartfelt THANK YOU! to Brad and all the other people putting in a lot of hard work to make FreeBSD a viable OS for the RPi (and other arm systems, although I currently don't have a personal interest in those). I tried putting FreeBSD on an RPi1 a couple of years ago when I got it - I did succeed, but the effort of getting there and using it was more than I was prepared to spend, and I reluctantly had to resort to the L-OS. When I recently started to play around a bit more actively with that and an RPi3 aquired later, I got increasingly annoyed with L, and decided to have another look at the FreeBSD support - and it just works! Pre-built images - and packages, I certainly didn't expect that! The RPi1 is running 11.0-RELEASE absolutely perfectly, and the RPi3 support seems to be coming along nicely. I got both up and running with USB wifi with minimal effort, without ever connecting console and keyboard. Thanks again! --Per Hedeland
