Not sure why they announced it today. I read about it earlier this year, for example back in April <a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/05/222239">http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/05/222239</a>. Unless they are announcing it is now part of the standard Debian releases.<br>
<br>This is not the only such remix in town:<br><br>= Gentoo did it some time ago too <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-freebsd.xml">http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-freebsd.xml</a><br>= There is also GNU/Hurd (DukeNukem Forever and ever?) <a href="http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/">http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/</a><br>
= Here is one that has OpenSolaris as a kernel too <a href="http://www.nexenta.org/os">http://www.nexenta.org/os</a><br><br>All this remixing is because of the freedom to do whatever you want with the software. Good things come out of these mashups.<br>
