- It would appear that this is not quite true. I was one of the people who
- suggested a port of BSD might be nice a couple months ago. In the many
- responses I saw, I learned a few interesting things.
-
- Not only has BSD been ported to the 3B1, it apparently has also been ported
- to the 3B2!! Unfortunately, not only is neither port available publicly, but
- they are so proprietary, they are not even available privately as commercial
- products.
-
- But at least it shows that it is possible, and soneday when I have lots of
- free time.....
