Why? even it contains kernels itself not endorsed by GNU http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ http://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd/ GNU is not at all easy to manage if you use slackware :-) More over Any set of software, not Just the ones from the GNU projec,t is easy to mamage using a systems like "debian" or "portage" ( http://gentoo-portage.com/ ) or "pkgsrc" ( http://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html ) or "yum". or similar. >But i do like BSD as too many projects > makes too many knowledge streams and makes the whole ecosystem > So let people continue to make better both gNU and BSd .in the end its all > for us ! , by us! > Very True :-) --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
