Most of these questions get asked at least twice a week on this mailing list. If you take the time to search the mailing lists you ought to find your answer about FreeBSD vs Linux: http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists You can find information about the Linuxolator in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/linuxemu.html And your question about the internal implementation can be answered by searching the -hackers email list archives (at the above url) and also by reading the handbook, particularly: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/internals.html enjoy, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
