Just the FreeBSD team do less work on desktops than servers, would you agree? The users can decide their machines run like desktops or servers. By default, most distributions have a default DE after installation or on their live images. I think they should be regarded as desktop-oriented. On the other hand, it's O.K. to call FreeBSD server-oriented, right? Everything we talk about here is open source. About portability, it more means interest. I'm not a developer, but I just know if one have interest in doing something. And we could not request every developer to put the portability No.1 when they try to write something. If I consider about Linux/BSD, why don't Win/Mac/Solaries/Minix/Haiku/MenutOS... We do everything for ourselves, then the others. The coder writes the code. When another coder faces to the code, what could he/she do if not satisfied? Change and make it better, or just no interest.
