Debian and its clones 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.

I look forward to Debian not just on Linux but a first class citizen on FreeBSD.

I will test it and use it. DEB packages on Freebsd is a must. I am also waiting (crossing fingers) on Debian QNX.
