I intend to deploy Debian GNU/kFreeBSD as a backup / NAS server. I think as a desktop it's still inmature but as a server it's very usable and has wonderful capabilities in storage area thanks to ZFS (for example http://www.ypass.net/solaris/zfsbackup/).
I also think it can be a good firewall with PF. It would be very useful to me if there was a stable release with security support. Running an unreleased system in production is a bit impractical :-( On 8/3/10, Philipp Kern <pk...@debian.org> wrote: > Dear kFreeBSD porters, dear kFreeBSD users, > > the Release Team is currently wondering if it makes sense to release with > kFreeBSD as a regular stable architecture with squeeze.
