Ok, thanks alot for shedding some light here. I am not really into FreeBSD but long term Linux user, so consider me being a noob here ;-). > FreeBSD 7 will be ok too.

Thanks alot, I will put into our wiki like this. Is there actually a command to upgrade the ports tree, so that I can use the latest ports with FreeBSD 7.2? What would be the proper instructions to install the necessary ports, I want to try compiling our software on FreeBSD. BTW: Whom should I contact to get our project into the ports? I guess a fully fledged MiniDisc transfer software could be interesting for alot of FreeBSD users as well ;-).
