[SailfishDevel] Replacing Linux with OpenBSD

2013-11-26 Thread opendaddy
Hi,

What would be the ups and downs of replacing Linux with something like OpenBSD 
in Sailfish?

They say perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but 
when there's nothing left to take away. It seems no other OS in the world 
today embodies this as well as OpenBSD does.

Thanks.

O.D.

It would be quite a lot of work, I believe...

For one, sailfish is based on mer, which uses systemd, which is linux specific.

Then, the currently available (well, it will be available shortly!)
hardware needs Android drivers.

I have not been using BSD in a while... what are its advantages? In
embedded projects, Linux starts to be quite entrenched... :)
