there are not many device drivers for interesting, let alone high-end,
devices for the *BSD series of kernels. the fact is that most
development in this field (that is open-source too) is taking place
under Linux, with whatever that implies. Whether its animation, audio,
video, whatever - the major impetus within the open source world comes
from Linux. *BSD is proving its place as an excellent server/secure
OS, but it doesn't have any of the multimedia momentum that has begun
to emerge with Linux.
