FWIW, I have never heard anyone use the term “kFreeBSD” in a non-Debian context; therefore I find it strange to use it at such an introductory location. What about using “kernel of FreeBSD” and indicating that the abbreviation for that is “kFreeBSD”? E.g.: “Debian can use either Linux or the kernel of FreeBSD (called kFreeBSD) at its core” I replaced “the Linux kernel” with just “Linux”, but that may be a personal preference (i.e., according to me, “the Linux kernel” sounds as if Linux is not itself just a kernel). Alternatively one could use: “Debian can use either the Linux kernel or the kernel of FreeBSD (called kFreeBSD) at its core” Nicolas -- A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion. Q.
