At the moment am on 4.3 :(
A friend just mailed me 5.0 DP2, advised me to move on to that or better
would be Darwin, but support on Darwin for x86
(http://www.opendarwin.org/) is too filmsy at the moment, so am planning
to move to 5.0 DP2.

Do you anticipate any problems?
If yes (other than the one you mentioned) what is that I should be aware
of and take counter measures?

So which FreeBSD supports GNUStep absolutely well?
The site just mentions FreeBSD 4.x
BTW, check the notes in the FreeBSD 4.x section, there are ways to use
gcc4.x

Hows that?
How can I modify that?
If 'I' can't whom can I send little dwarfs after to harrass?
