Hello, Pthreads is a standardized interface available on both Linux and FreeBSD, so there should not be any differences between them. Likewise for sockets. The only really minor difference I can think of right now is the sa_len member of struct sockaddr which is available on FreeBSD but not on Linux. The cool thing about FreeBSD is that everything you need to program is already installed :) Cheers, Pieter de Goeje > > Thanks in advance, > Michael
