Well, it isn't free as in speech, cause we don't get source code, which means it is x86 only (amoung other issues).

It's O.K. for it to run on x86 only. The focus of FreeBSD is to run as well as possible on x86 machines. If you want to run on other architectures, try NetBSD whose motto is ``Of course it runs NetBSD.''
