Finally Debian anounces a new usable branch with FreeBSD as kernel instead of Linux. This turns Debian in a GNU/kFreeBSD distro, usually known as GNU/Linux.

Some days ago Linus Torvalds said that the kernel is getting fat. Many companies are working to include as many technologies as possible in the kernel, so the design is forgotten sometimes.

If you want to try a different choice, as stable as Linux, but you love the great amount of software available in Debian, you must try this new branch. Alternatively you can also try the FreeBSD distro straight.

I hope the Hurd kernel, the one truly GNU, is soon ready to use in Debian. At the moment we can test it under a developement release.
