Getting back into Unix OSs after some time, college really though I did try some Linux distros in the late 90's, by installing GhostBSD on an old laptop. It's a distro of FreeBSD aimed at desktop use. Started with Dragonfly originally, but that was a bit much so back to basics. Dragonfly is also lacking in some ports I wanted.
After working with GhostBSD for awhile I thought I'd try out the Linux compatibility layer. Fortune favors the bold so why not try seeing if Icaros Desktop could be installed hosted. Worked better than I thought. As in it installed, networking didn't due to differences between Linux and BSD. That would have been a bonus. Sadly starting Icaros only got so far. Farther than I though it would. I figured the install script would have just errored out right off or just throw lots of errors.
.Once I get a handle on things, a ways off, maybe I'll take a look at what's going on and what's needed
Way back there used to be a base AROS version that was FreeBSD hosted. Maybe someday
It was a fun experiment. For you amusement, see image
