There're people who is even maintaining apps between linux<->windows; I don= 't thing is that difficult to keep it working for more OSs One can't deny that most of the gnome thing is done by linux/solaris people. But the good thing of free software (let's not waste time discussing about the stupid licenses) is that you can make it work under freebsd. gnome and kde are getting better and better daily; things like openoffice, evolution or gstreamer ARE what makes you a desktop OS or not. Getting that working under BSDs will make you a desktop OS.There's no need to waste time discussing if BSD is a bit more free than GPL or not; just join to the= m, get the damned GPLed thing working and enjoy.
