Other than that, there are a few differences in things BSD doesn't support, most notably file change notifications and a couple networking issues. I tried getting it to work on OpenBSD as well, but couldn't get the fsck'ing thing to install on virtualbox. I tried with a downloaded VM, but couldn't get a proper desktop setup (gnome wouldn't install for whatever reason). If someone can point me toward an OpenBSD install guide (for virtualbox), I'll get some OpenBSD bugs filed... -- -Austin
