I guess you're right. I was just wondering because I asked that question some 
days ago and there hasn't been much activity on the IRC channel since. Probably 
everyone was on Easter holiday. I'll get in touch with you on IRC in a moment.

Nothing really. I just noticed that quite a few folks on this list seem to run 
*BSD, so I am hoping for any hint. I'd certainly like to get FreeBSD to run, 
though it's not a priority right now. One thing about FreeBSD that I prefer 
compared to the GNU userland is the manpages. To me, they seem far more 
understandable. But I don't want to start an OS flame war, so let's keep it at 
this.
