With FreeBSD for example, GNU Floating Point emulation is available, however, to comply with the GPL terms and conditions, they don't distribute it precompiled into the default kerne, thus, one needs to manually compile it into the kernel if one needs it.
If there were to be a move by FreeBSD, they would have to firstly make a ported module then an application which would convert the filesystem from UFS to ReiserFS. Being a complicated and risky process, I can't see it happening.
The last question would be, of what benefit would it bring to FreeBSD when there is already and adequate solution, UFS2, sitting there ready to be used.
With that being said, there is nothing stopping the FreeBSD community from making a clean room implementation of ReiserFS 4 using brand new, original code, simply based on the ReiserFS documentation and specifications.
Well, you can thank the senate for no giving signals that will sell off the other half of telstra. In New Zealand we sold of Telecom and ever since then, the price of services have been dropping and quality increasing.
Well, hopefully John Howard will go for a double disolution and that he can get a majority in both the senate and parliament.
This reminds me of the GST debate and the rubbish the likes of the Democrats, Greens and Labour tried to push out to make the so-called case. If it weren't for them, Australia would have had a deeper tax cut. Maybe it is about time Australia just got rid of the senate altogether.
