I don't recall which one anymore, but one of OpenBSD and NetBSD turned |
| 9 |
out to be impossible to do anything useful with, as experienced by one |
| 10 |
of the most skilled hacker I know. Either way, both OpenBSD and NetBSD |
| 11 |
are a major pain. The "supreme portability" of OpenBSD definitely |
| 12 |
doesn't apply to getting other software to run on the platform itself. |

Your project becomes much more valuable when you can indicate a |
| 18 |
continuous support to the port/variant for a fair bit of the forseeable |
| 19 |
future. One of the best examples why it is a waste to just see if you |
| 20 |
can get it to work is Gentoo/Alt itself. Some platforms in the Prefix |
| 21 |
project are really deserted, and Gentoo/FreeBSD has IMO never flourished |
| 22 |
again after its most devoted developer decided to move on to the next |
| 23 |
challenge. |

Donnie gave an excellent answer on the administrative steps in his reply. |
