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.

Hmm... I can't see from the screenshot if it's (the old) Debian-modified version of the FreeBSD installer or if it's a (new) version of the Debian-installer that can install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. So, which is it?

A ported version of the Debian Installer is used:
