Redhat doesn't mention any such restriction. That must just be a caldera thing. (i hope). A little bit ironic that a company that is battling microsoft for unfair business practices seems to be anxious to eliminate BSD unix (what other systems emulate linux?? -- there was that sco thing but i don't think that's serious competetion). Oh well. Anyway, do I need 3.0, or can i get the latest linux emulator for 2.2.7? -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
