The bad part is - hardware support is the same as of FreeBSD 9, which is worse than Linux. > Can you install all the same software as with regular Debian? All software - no. They took out Linux-specific parts, such as iptables, iproute2, udev, mdadm, lvm2 (there may be more, but these are definitely not in). On a bright side, it features 'native' zfs (I won't consider anything other than Solaris to be native to zfs, still those FreeBSD guys say so). You'll encounter a HUGE PAIN trying to make Adobe Flash work. Same for NVIDIA and ATI proprietary blobs. But - then it comes to a platform-agnostic free software (and it's like 97% of Debian main archive) - it's all there. > Is there a network install for Debian/kFreeBSD? See [1] and [2].
