I hope you or somebody in charge of the new Xorg will say when we can build X on FreeBSD 10-stable and 11-head.

I want to get a system running where I can do web-browsing and other things before I upgrade other computer's FreeBSD installation from 9.2-STABLE to 10.0-RELEASE (when that is ready).  There could be some downtime as I rebuild all ports following the major-version change.

Too many glitches with NetBSD!

By the way, DragonFly is incompatible with my system: no Internet access with MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard, and can't mount any partitions on my hard drive.

OpenBSD can't read my hard drive at all for lack of GPT support.
