I was in fact replying to the OP (Jozsi Vadkan). Thanks for clarifying that= Jon! Why on earth would someone put Debian and FreeBSD and "distros" in the same breath, must be a joke. I use Debian _and_ FreeBSD extensively but I have no confusion in tha FBSD is not a Linux distro. The fact that FBSD runs on the RS is irrelevant as theOP pointed to an openwrt link which is in fact a LInux distro. My mail was inteded as a wake-up call to give the OP the chance to realize he'd put his foot in his mouth and say something like "ooops, wrong list, sorry", or clarify with something like, "well I was in fact asking if FBSD would boot on the RS but somehow failed in explaining it".
