I was in fact replying to the OP (Jozsi Vadkan). Thanks for clarifying that Jon!

Why on earth would someone put Debian and FreeBSD and "distros" in the
same breath, must be a joke.

I use Debian _and_ FreeBSD extensively but I have no confusion in tha
FBSD is not a Linux distro.

The fact that FBSD runs on the RS is irrelevant as theOP pointed to an
openwrt link which is in fact a LInux distro.
My mail was inteded as a wake-up call to give the OP the chance to
realize he'd put his foot in his mouth and say something like "ooops,
wrong list, sorry", or clarify with something like, "well I was in
fact asking if FBSD would boot on the RS but somehow failed in
explaining it".

Cheers,
