- tannhaeuser 6y agoAFAIK, that has been deprecated at around the same time as LSB (2015?) due to systemd and gnomisms such as gnome's login, dbus, etc. invading every single package. I guess, nowadays the Devuan developers maintain a Debian version that should be as close to a starting point for a new Debian system running on a FreeBSD kernel as it gets.
- rleigh 6y agoI used to run it. Initially as a VM on Debian, later inside a jail on FreeBSD. It worked nicely. The main criticism I have of it is that it is a solution in search of a problem. Why would I use it in preference to either vanilla FreeBSD or vanilla Debian? I eventually made the move and just went to vanilla FreeBSD. It avoids the potential for any subtle incompatibilities you might encounter between the FreeBSD kernel and a foreign userland that was never intended to be used with it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great technical achievement. But I'm sceptical that it has major value.
