The idea of getting app support via Linux emulation is a bad one; it guarantees that native support for FreeBSD will be rare. I'd rather see some folks (and, yes, I'd help, though I'm not qualified to do it alone) build FreeBSD emulation for Linux. Then, app vendors could make a business case for targeting FreeBSD. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
