That must be your charter then.  At least, not hours. ;-)

The fact that FreeBSD is currently only available for i[3456]86
platforms doesn't preclude that somebody might port it to another
platform someday.  As long as it's the same codebase, it will still be
called FreeBSD.

(Heck, XFree86 runs on Alpha's etc. these days, even despite of the 86
in their name. :)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
