Hi. In my mind the reason why we should use FreeBSD kernel is that it is developed for a long time, and has much more things, that can be helpful for "userland", such as mentioned SMP, and the most important -- hardware support. Also, the number of currently existing ports for FreeBSD is the greatest -- so we would have less troubles compiling packages. Yeah, I know, that nearly all the ports for FreeBSD can be compiled on either one OS of the "three", but I try judge the facts.
The issue of platform support is very important, but I think, not on that stage. Remember, some time ago Debian/Linux didn't have such a wide platform support. Let's make the system usable at least on i386 and FreeBSD -- then we can think about the others :) Also, what about voting -- I still think it's good idea to make a poll, and after that start working and give off flaming. Maybe, we can create a web page with a poll system? It would be the simpliest way. Or even ask CmdrTaco to put this poll on Slashdot ;-) -- Regards, Wartan.
