Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is a discontinued[1] operating system released by the

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
Debian project. It used the FreeBSD kernel and GNU userland. The majority of
software in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD was built from the same sources as Debian,
with some kernel packages fromFreeBSD. The k in kFreeBSD is an abbreviation for
kernel, which refers to the FreeBSD kernel. Before discontinuing the project, Debian
maintained i386 and amd64 ports.The last version of Debian kFreeBSD was Debian
8 (Jessie) RC3.

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD was created in 2002.[2] It was included in Debian 6.0

(Squeeze) as a technology preview, and in Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) as an official port.
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD was discontinued as an officially supported platform as of
Debian 8.0, because it failed to attract enough users to justify the burden to the rest
of the project. Debian developers cited OSS, pf, jails, NDIS, and ZFS as reasons for Screenshot [show]
being interested in the FreeBSD kernel.[3]
