Hello,

You also hoisted FreeBSD to be a primary platform. Could you explain
why? I don't believe it gets tested very often. We do have posts here
and there when things happen to break but the same is true for NetBSD or
Solaris. Judging from development activity Windows would be more of a
candidate but that of course would contradictory to the statement we are
trying to make here :-)
since I have now an x86 box and it runs FreeBSD I can say it runs very
well In general gnustep usage I didn't found more problems than I found
on linux/x86 or linux/ppc. FreeBSD is something between linux and netbsd
so it really usually jsut works, often it is more linux friendly than
netbsd. I wouldn't worry too much. Also since it is x86 it presents no
particular endiannes and alignment troubles (well, I don't know how the
status of 64bit sutff is).
I have noticed only some small problems here and there in some
applications like relying on /proc file system or specific tab files in
/etc but those are more generic porting problems
Cheers,
