I helped guys in LWJGL to have a port to FreeBSD. Their main problem was lack of experience of setting dev FreeBSD (without spending solid amount of time), and total lacking of some "template VMs for building/developing/porting" at all. While I did that port, I tried to set up also other BSD and see what's there (Dragonfly, Open, Net) with different level of success. My point is, if there will be some way to developers to gain access to pre-set and test-ready environment, peoples could benefit from it. >From start this could be set-up in semi manual mode, and became some good service. Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
