Ah, as a former NS user, I would much like to see the graphics layer on top of FBSD. However, I don't think the above is really possible. Rhapsody is not built on top of MkLinux, but is a Mach 3.x core, with 4.4BSD services layered on top. (NS was Mach 2.x, with 4.3 BSD) As NS is really Mach at heart, I don't think that it would be really possible to replace the kernel with FBSD. -- Jonathan
