	I actualy shut down my FreeBSD dev environment awhile back, so 
it'd take some doing to get things set up; I do use a 5.4-RELEASE 
descended boix quite a bit so could perhaps build it there.. but its 
probably easier for you to use the Linux bindings on that.

	Theres a few FreeBSD folks around, but seems like Linux has more 
desktop users, while FreeBSD is still doing strong in the server side. 
(Myself, I'm a FreeBSD man mostly, though Gentoo has a similar mindset. I 
don't care so much for Ubuntu and its ilk.)
