Étoilé is more a development platform as it stands now. We have some core frameworks still actively developed or maintened, but user-oriented stuff is not maintened currently and is planned to be rewritten in the future. > Is Étoilé easier to run on the BSD for > some reason or it is a historical preference? FreeBSD and Linux are the two systems we have been supporting from the beginning. We just happen to have Étoilé packages on FreeBSD, since David is maintaining them along with GNUstep packages iirc.
