This is what I'm thinking.= .. It would have everything that FreeBSD has: *cvsup (same development style), buildworld, etc. *Ports and packages. *FreeBSD tool chain... user / system land tools etc. *UFS2 etc. *Same goals, methods, philosophies, and values. *Everything but the kernel. Plus everything that the Linux kernel has: *Billion dollar bank roll *Millions of developers *Driver support *Software support (Oracle, DB2, and other Linux only apps) I think this combo would be the best of both worlds, the only thing I don't like is that darn GPL stuff.
