This basically means no-go for it as FreeBSD should support all x86 CPUs made since 1983 (insert your favorite year from that era, and yes I'm only half-kidding. :-) > > So all Core2 and older are not supported.

BTW, why we > ignore Ubuntu or Debian? Good question. IIRC we used to have a number of linuxbase ports, even Gentoo one, but their maintainers had dropped the ball at some point. CentOS was a good choice because of its inertia, long support cycles, and strict compatibility with RHEL which ensured that most GNU/Linux software would run fine. Given the sad fate of CentOS and in the light of Canonical now offering 12* year support for their LTS releases 14.04 onwards, perhaps we could look at providing Ubuntu-based linuxbase. ./danfe *) https://canonical.com/blog/canonical-expands-long-term-support-to-12-years-starting-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts
