With regards to Asterisk on FBSD, I for one would love to see it happen. I prefer FreeBSD over Linux in almost every case. However, personally I have a few concerns: Namely, the primary developer is a Linux nut .. (sorry Mark, I mean that in a good way :). I'd hate to see development efforts

I agree 100%. Sometimes code works on one system because of a "quirk". Building and testing on multiple systems and debugging the autoconf scripts has a way of making the code mature and robust. I keep and old DEC Alpha (a 64 bit machine) and SPARC (big endian byte order) and run Solaris and Li

Since no one yet has objected to this proposal, could you all move on from discussing if it should happen, and toward doing something. In the long run it shouldn't be that big of a deal to make the few changes necessary. Also if someone jumps in and gets the autoconf started, I'm sure Mark will be
