I can see how it could= be useful. I don't really believe that open source software should have a = price when it comes to drivers and things like that. There are a lot of sit= es like this one in the aspect of paying programmers to write software, non= e of them directed at any one OS. I don't see the point in directing this s= ite to freebsd. All the freebsd drivers should be open source and Libra.
