A coworker of mine (Debian bigot) just showed me this strange project

Essentially it is a Debian distro using the FreeBSD kernel instead of
Linux. This confused the heck out of me. I thought that was the
silliest thing to do. I mean what's next? A Hurd kernel, BSD
userland,
Gnu C library, with a Debian package set??? This goes way beyond the
"because I can" reasoning.
This is really an old idea. One that RMS has been harping on since
Linux became the least bit popular. Linux is just a kernel. In fact
a project to run Debian on GNU/Hurd has been in the works for a LONG
time.
