This is just a start. Since it looks like there really is going to be an interest, debian-bsd@lists.debian.org has been created... The first thing I've been struggling with is deciding just where to draw the line. Should we try to use GNU glibc or should we use BSD's libc? If we use glibc, are we going to have a problem with running a "commercial" or other package that was prepared for *BSD? What *is* the compatiblity of the various flavor's of *BSD now?
