+  set of features, other than Bluestore. It will run everything needed to
+  build a storage cluster. For clients, all access methods are available,
+  albeit CephFS is only accessible through a Fuse implementation. RBD images 
+  can be mounted on FreeBSD systems thru rbd-ggate
+
+  Ceph versions are released thru the regular FreeBSD ports and packages
+  system. The most current version is available as: net/ceph-devel. 
+  Once Luminous goes into official release, this version will be available 
+  as net/ceph. Future development releases will be available via net/ceph-devel
