However, this machine is not critical to me, I just installed it to see how faster Debian GNU/kFreeBSD can be compared to GNU/Linux on aging machines (early PII/III-class, of which I maintain a lot). I'm willing to help fix the problems though. So I first try to notice, then report, then try to provide a fix.
