kfreebsd_base-debian sounds interesting but I would probably just rather run GNU/kFreeBSD instead.
I think I'll try to spend some time this weekend and install GNU/kFreeBSD on a second hard drive and do a little performance testing against the debain linux base.
I've been developing a modified rox desktop setup using color
coordination and extending the "drag & drop" functionality to enable
things like dragging an .iso to an icon to burn it, and so on. I have
worked on it with FreeBSD exclusively thus far but moving to
GNU/kFreeBSD may make some of the desktop applications a bit easier to
work with.
The ultimate goal is to have a distro(sort of) that will install from a
LiveCD.
