You you know I met Marshall Kirk McKusick right? HE would also be able to Port it. Hell he's the one who wrote the File System we use to this day lol. He's seriously awesome too, and VERY nice.

But anyway, I think you'll see after about a week of use, that PC-BSD, is the future in Open Desktop OSs; Not Ubuntu.

I made the Prediction, and I don't do that very often, because you're basically putting your reputation on the line saying "this will probably happen in the future" and I rarely do that, except once in a GREAT while.

But, after the last two months I've been sort of toying with PC-BSD more seriously, I can't help but too think that way. I mean I have OLD versions of PC-BSD here I had never used; Along with DesktopBSD, and the like; Because I have a HUGE CD/DVD Case that I use for my BSD stuff, and I haven't ever thrown any away, so I have FreeBSD going back to 4.0!

I have the paid version of FreeBSD you got when you bought the BSD PowerPak, and I bought it in 2000 or so, and it came with 4.0 on 4 CDs, and the 6 CD toolkit, and "The Complete FreeBSD" 3rd Edition book. I've still got the CDs, the book, I still read it, and I still have the box it came in.

So I don't throw any BSD stuff away; Mostly because you CAN in theory still use it today, and upgrade to newer ****. I could in theory install 4.0 on an old Desktop, which is mainly what I have; I only have ONE new Desktop, the rest of my gear is getting dated, but I could install 4.0, upgrade to 5 or so, maybe 6, then, upgrade to 7.x, and from there 8 or 9.

Plus I like looking at the old Docs it came with, and seeing what's changed and how it's changed over the years.

I still have PC-BSD 9 on my Laptop, and it's going good, and I still have 8.2 on my Compaq, because I don't feel a need to upgrade that one either; And of course, there's another reason:

I have this DVD Rip, of something called "Nine Inch Nails, and the Industrial Uprising" and, I used to watch it ALL the time on Windows 7, but now, it won't work.... It juts STOPPED working.... I watched it last time on THIS machine, in Windows, with Windows Media Player, and now, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and DivX Player, won't play it. It just won't work for some reason....

But on PC-BSD, with NO 3D because that machine has an on board shitty Video Card, it works out of the box!

So yea I was like WTF lol.

Oh, and, if you'd like; I'll help you out with the Porting; All you need to do, is buy me a PPC machine (I personally love PPC Processors but I've never owned one) and of course teach me C

Then again, in theory, you could probably borrow some stuff from NetBSD to make it work on almost anything; I mean despite how much people say "NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, PC-BSD, DesktopBSD, DragonFly BSD, are all somewhat different" when it comes down to it, the differences, really aren't huge. Lol, I think you probably know that more or better than I do. NetBSD and OpenBSD are directly related, as is everything from FreeBSD, which is all coming from 386/BSD which in turn was Net/2 and so on. You can trace their History back to the CSRG.

From what I understand; NFS support in ALL versions of BSD, is still the SAME one a guy in Guelph did while it was still being worked on at the University of California at Berkeley.
