<title>FreeBSD Support</title>
<para>TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial
given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions
of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for
FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or
contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and
applications are always welcome.</para>
