I'm currently gathering information about embedable 
operating systems to possibly use for a marine 
navigation/charting system.

A friend has turned me on to FreeBSD, and I'm wondering if 
anyone has experience in embedding this OS, and in working 
with the Mach lites extension.

QNX or OS9 seem to offer most of what I need, but the 
light weight thread possibilities as well as the 
avialiable tools make FreeBSD a potentially more 
attractive choice.

Thanks for any information you can provide.
Paul Bugni.
