I don't think so. |

I mean: what is working and what is not? |

Yes. At least KDE, which is the one I tried, built almost without problems, |
| 16 |
I had to tweak an ebuild at some point to drop a dependency which was giving |
| 17 |
me problems, but that was a fairly minor problem. |

Beware though: baselayout is not at par with linux's baselayout, it lacks |
| 20 |
support for some things (I have to manually bring up my wifi interface, for |
| 21 |
instance), and there are some minor problems in the stage mentioned in the |
| 22 |
guide (installing G/FBSD from scratch right now to make some tests w/ |
| 23 |
sandbox enabled), ie. portage will complain about its user not existing |
| 24 |
(malformed entry) and rebuilding the base system (with emerge -e system as |
| 25 |
stated on the guide) is broken, it produces null output (running emerge -e |
| 26 |
world now). |

And there are lots of software which work just fine not marked x86-fbsd that |
| 29 |
you should keyword ~x86 or x86 in order to emerge. |

With those issues in mind you can still get a pretty nice FreeBSD-based |
| 32 |
Gentoo system. |
