And as I told H.J. Lu, one of the Linux shared lib developers, it's not really fair to compare Linux/ELF to ANYTHING in the FreeBSD camp until Linux/ELF is truly in wide circulation. Since the Slackware distribution currently leads the market in overall Linux users (something like 60-70%), I'll be willing to talk about Linux and ELF in the same breath when Slackware goes ELF, but not a moment before.
