I want to be on that ship, and think that more than only porting software is needed, live-examples of use, modify the kernel to allow nvidia/ati (even intel) develop drivers and of course, marketing and bechmarking (aren't them the samething?) For now i'm going to port my hpc app to FreeBSD. > > b.
