Hello, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG!
I've learned that there is a FreeBSD, a NetBSD and
an OpenBSD (hoping that I have not forgotten a member
of the *BSD group :). From a developer's point of
view, the following questions are quite interesting:
- What are the differences of these three versions/
releases/distributions?
- What are the differences in the system APIs?
- Provided that I find the time to do so, is it
possible to develop device drivers for all three
ebvironments based on one source? Or are the
interfaces required to build/install the driver
too different to make this approach possible?
- If the differences are of practically no relevance
(only minor stuff), are there plans to unite the
three *BSDs or to (at least) build some uniform
device driver interfaces so that a driver can be
used without modifications?
If these questions have previously been discussed
somewhere and/or were written down into a FAQ, I
apologize (in advance) and will continue to look
for these comments in the newsgroups, mailing-lists
and FAQs...
Regards, Olaf
