Yuk. Please don't corrupt FreeBSD with Linux. By all means help to make FreeBSD provide a compatibility mode to run Linux executables, but leave FreeBSD as FreeBSD. If people want to _develop_ Linux applications, let the run _Linux_. And for those of us who choose to use _FreeBSD_, allow us to live in a Linux and Microsoft free zone. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
