An update of the Gentoo GNU/kFreeBSD proof-of-concept tarball has been rolled out. Improvements include an up-to-date toolchain (gcc 4.0, glibc 2.3.5, etc.), and the system being bootable and usable as a standalone system. It is now provided as a CD installer for anyone with minimal Gentoo experience to try it out.
It’s good to see this project actually get some progress. I look forward to seeing more work done with Gentoo Mac OSX and FreeBSD portages, as it would be nice to have portage be portable (ducks flying objects).
Very cool. I havn’t tried it yet. I wonder what sort of limitations there are compared to Portage on Linux?
catdog?
I Just dislike this kind of misture of linux and FreeBSD, since is just the kernel that changes, what’s the point ? A linux userland in a BSD Kernel.
What, Linux kernel is just not enought and you ppl need a real kernel, a BSD kernel ?
Leave linux with is own minor kernel, or start using HURD
Long live to FreeBSD
There’s no such thing as “linux userland”.
This project aims to provide yet another kernel to the GNU system. You don’t have to use it you know.
