First, let me congratulate the dedicated people behind this. Yes well done. You have taken an free OS to port it to another free OS.
But,
*puts on flame proof suit*
What does this change? From what I have heard, the software in FreeBSD is hard to use, lame, feature poor, etc..
What does this change in the world of lets say 99% of desktop users? Yes, I know that people here love Linux, and love seeing application being ported on the platform.
But is this innovative? Or just reinventing the wheel in a brilliant but useless way?
The collective Linux brains should be coding something to convert the Windoze through sheer abundance of feature.
You have heard this before. Make it simple. I am smart. But not everyone is. As much as I love going into Mandrake to do thing, it is all too true. Linux is still an obstacle to productivity for average people.
Does FreeBSD change this? Somehow I don't think so.
Aiming for new features, innovation and simplicity. The architecture of Linux is well capable of handling these.
And yes I am leaving my flame proof suit on..
