I  (and some others) are funding a company to support FreeBSD,
in some months (I hope) there will be $$$$ to pay for FreeBSD code
and of course donate the code to FreeBSD.org... 

I do not have an idea, but, do you people can tell how much does it
would costs to write UMS or KMS code for FreeBSD???  I think I have
the money, I just must know how much is needed..

I really do not care if the code goes in the kernel or in user mode,
As far as I can test, running Linux vs FreeBSD in the notebooks I tested
the FreeBSD is far more reliable, faster, than Linux. The only problem
with
FreeBSD is the drivers for the radeon and intel video chips... 

We will need also code for the wifi, camera, and sleep/wakeup...

The idea is to sell notebooks to a closed market, about 100.000 units...
each notebooks can sell for US$400  (4gb of ram, 320Gb of disk) 14inch
screen.
no brand name...

Operating system FreeBSD9 or 10, gnome 2.32.

OPPINIONS please????
