If memory serves OpenBSD 5.3 was released with GNOME 3 and KDE 3.5. Here we see FreeBSD 8.4 released with GNOME 2 and KDE 4. Can anyone shed some light on why one BSD operating system has a modern KDE and outdated GNOME desktop while the other has the reverse?
The OpenBSD guys are always clear that they work on things for themselves. I would assume, therefore, that someone wanted GNOME3 and ported it, but nobody was interested in KDE4. This is a good ting. I'd much rather see them working on projects like OpenSSH, OpenBGPD, OpenNTPD, and OpenSMTPD since these end up being ported to FreeBSD and Linux and benefit the FOSS community as a whole.
