Hehe, got a good chuckle from BSDI's response. FreeBSD can run BSDI binaries, but BSDI can't run FreeBSD binaries. Wonder why...Not! Couldn't be to force folks to buy their product in order to develop for it? ;) I'm not belittling BSDI. I quite like some of the things they've done, and in fact started out with their old BSD/OS 1.1 stuff before I heard of FreeBSD. It was rock solid (almost as solid as FreeBSD? ;) and I had an old Pentium 90 running a whole slew e-mail, FTP, & web accounts on it for 1.5+ years and the P90 never cracked a sweat. I'd see uptimes in excess of 6 months -- would have been longer were it not for forced reboots when I moved things around. This does make me wonder one thing: Is there any way to cross-compile for BDS/OS on FreeBSD, or is this just plain impossible? Has anyone tried? Aaron out.
