Hey, guys and gals, did you forget this part of the original
post?

Just installed SuSE Linux 7.2 with Reiser FS throughout on an
Intel SMP box. The FS purrs, even on /, which doesn't mean
everything is better or worse than FBSD.

As far as I know, ReiserFS is GPL. What would porting it to
FreeBSD be better or worse than other (newer and less stable)
alternatives?

Is this a technical issue or are politics involved?

Greetings,

Lucien
