What do you want to start with? FreeBSD + Initware (so that we can reuse the existing NixOS systemd service file generation stuff?)
I think I'll try messing around with them a little on their own to get a feel for what they need in order to run
- Ericson2314 5y agooh oops, I think I was intending to type "crowd source" but I really met "crowd fund". I do want to finish my FreeBSD cross PR, but is is hard. We already have NetBSD working, including building the kernel, so I think it is better to start there. I opened https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os/issues/16 https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os/issues/16 because I think that would be the absolute easiest first step, with the fewest moving parts. But I don't know how kernels, even Linux, are packaged into bootable thingies at all.
- pxc 5y agoI'm trying to learn a little bit about the NetBSD process this weekend! It seems pretty simple from a user perspective, which is great. I do think crowdfunding is a decent idea, and I'd be willing to support someone who knows what they're doing :)
