pacman -S freebsd-kernel ??
pacman -S freebsd-kernel...
Is that possible in a future?
I hope yes!! I'd love it.
Just a joke...
Greetings.

Re: pacman -S freebsd-kernel ??
I am wanting to try a BSD but am always worried about support for new laptops. That would probably give me the push...

@Allan:
Putting the FreeBSD-Kernel in an Arch-Environment wont make it wondrously support all possible hardware. If you want to try out a BSD you could just as well start now.

I realize that... It would be just the push I needed to get around to trying one of the BSDs

Try FreeBSD 7.0 (dev. version) it works very good.

Re: pacman -S freebsd-kernel ??
uhm maybe a project like gentoo-prefix can be good.
In other words you can bootstrap a gentoo portage (the package manager) on every enviroment. At this moment it's working on solaris 10 and osx (both intel and power pc) and some folks say that they have bootstrapped prefix on osx.
An easy way will be compile pacman on osx and port the makepkg utils and build packages on freebsd but this will mean have another different pkg manager on freebsd not an arch over bsd with the rc.d/ init scripts and so on.
Anyway it could be an interesting project

https://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/
But forget about the latest Intel Wifi nics, there is no driver for these at the moment.
Use UNIX or die.
