Okay, this may sound completely dull then, but what's Debian? I
mean, as extricated from Linux?
The Debian package system? Is there more?
All three popular BSDs have a fully functional package system
which, though it maybe doesn't look quite as pretty on-screen,
handles dependencies and all just as gracefully as debs do...
BSD is not a kernel and a userland waiting for a distribution, but
a set of three--give or take a few random branches--very similar
and fully-packaged operating systems.
I don't mean to discredit this project that I know nothing about
in any way, I'm just curious what it would comprise should it get
off the ground.
