  Out of curiosity, if you can hear anything over the noise of the
flamethrowers..

  Is this just a kernel replacement or a complete system overhaul?  That is, is
it just recompiling Debian targeted at the BSD kernel (ie, we keep the GNU
fileutils, shell, compiler, etc) or does it use a BSD core?  I automatically
assumed the first, but I just realized this might not be what you're talking
about..
