For Debian people, an easier migration path that seems very viable today will be kFreeBSD -- and then if that goes seriously bad too, it is a closer step to FreeBSD (at least a little bit closer). This penned as possible news on kFreeBSD for upcoming publicity: https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2014/10/msg00146.html - "GNU/kFreeBSD "bits", publicity, status report" - - following on thread of "kFreeBSD future" https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2014/09/msg00280.html In a nutshell: MATE, not gnome no systemd, freedesktop.org sysvinit, potentially OpenRC later consolekit patched 90% compiled base very usable desktop (not just for servers) I've got to specifically quote this small, but important /delicate/ section of Steven Chamberlain message: <quote> * (delicately!) mention init system, still being a hot topic - no udev or systemd here; I guess that makes us a "traditional" Debian flavour, UNIX-like and POSIX-focused - we did lose GNOME (I think mainly due to logind, but also libgbm) - otherwise, we seem to have all we need; Robert fixed up consolekit - we chose to keep sysvinit as default, but are in a position to easily use alternate init systems; OpenRC looks promising for the future (perhaps usable already?); I guess file-rc still works </quote> *Much* progress from Wheezy, very promising future.
