Re: Purpose driving kfreebsd?
Thanks, that's a very helpful page. It would be very cool if this page had a link to it: http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ A link to this page would be good too. http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_FAQ Speaking of the FAQ, I added a section "Unanswered questions" to the bottom, and listed some questions that came to mind. (Would love to see some answers). http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_FAQ That all said, we would love to have someone involved kfreebsd to NYC to present. If the person can get themselves here, we can take care of food and lodging (nothing fancy, it will typical debian "guest quarters".. i.e. - a volunteer will likely offer to take on the speaker as a guest) Cheers, Brian On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 3:43 AM, Luca Favatella wrote: > On 08/12/2009, Brian Gupta wrote: > [...] >> I was looking for FAQs and such, do >> you have any? > [...] >> Basically I get the sense that most folks are like me, in that they >> know it exists, they just don't really know anyone who uses it, nor do >> they understand why someone would use it.

(Over plain Debian or > FreeBSD). For me, its interest in non-linux GNU (or my interest in GNU/Linux is mainly GNU). So plan FreeBSD is not as much exciting. Having more options for GNU is good - the more, the merrier. - Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?

Purpose driving kfreebsd?
Hey guys, I think it's awesome that you have done this, and that Debian is supporting it as official port. I was looking for FAQs and such, do you have any? Basically I want to learn about why as much as the technical what driving this port. I'd also love to see if anyone is interested in giving a techncial presentation in New York City on kfreebsd at a user group meeting in Q1 2010. If someone is available that would be great, otherwise, I plan to learn about kfreebsd and potentially give the preso myself. The target of the preso would be both Linux and BSD users. (And all interested parties). Basically I get the sense that most folks are like me, in that they know it exists, they just don't really know anyone who uses it, nor do they understand why someone would use it. (Over plain Debian or FreeBSD). Cheers, Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
