What you mean is if somehow it included JIT recompilation of x86 bytecode so that we could run linux-x86 binaries. And yes, I agree that would be awesome, however it would also take a metric fuckton (please pardon my french) of horsepower to pull off in realtime. (Has FreeBSD-ppc had all the binary emulation stuff stripped out of it, or could I theoretically run a linux binary that was built for ppc?) --=-qzRik0hBOlj7w4f1czGg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkjzQR4ACgkQRtTtv0BbTe44qACdGj8y7FOnLctD/jpRNYpogbtq 2aIAnAhf/dtBp9fBIpr1/Q/6LKPEYuMt =+mra -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-qzRik0hBOlj7w4f1czGg--
