Today we added the last missing pieces for the beta release of libera.cc: the information concerning FreeBSD 7.0 compatibility. It went quite fast, and unfortunately I have to say it is due to the lack of support for many devies , for instance it is not possible to have a DVB-T tuner on FreeBSD, and no webcam with kernel support. I have only experience with FreeBSD on servers and I had no clue about this.
On the other FreeBSD is _much_ more nicely documented, nearly every driver has a man page detailing the chipset that the driver is aimed at, _and_ a list of commercial devices using that very chipset. Which makes finding what works in a much reliable way.
So as usual there is a bit of good everywhere.
