It's hard to turn a news item like this into a front page item, but I'm going to try anyway, because I think it's pretty cool news. As we all know, Debian supports a number of architectures as 'release architectures', but what some of you may not be aware of is that Debian also supports a number of kernels other than Linux. One of those, the FreeBSD kernel, has been promoted to release status, putting it on equal footing with the Linux variant.

Excellent work, thank you Debian GNU/kFreeBSD team. I hope we will soon also see Debian FreeBSD (so, with the FreeBSD userland), APT-managed FreeBSD would be great.
At any rate, it's nice to have pf, jails, and GEOM in a Debian world.
