Well, Ok .. Let me clarify. I'm extremely interested in virtualization,
and particularly xen. So, I thought It would be a good idea to work on
porting DFBSD as DomU for xen for education.

Now, I'm not sure what should my development environment be like !
What do you think is the perfect development environment to do so ?

Thanks
