I'm trying to keep all FreeBSD servers in my net as I have since the late 90s. I have a requirement to get a quickbooks enterprise server running so I was going to attempt to use compat_linux. It struck me that if I knew the following list of supported linux implementations, I should be able to figure out the best port to use. So far, it doesn't seem too clear to me. Here are the linux versions supported by the 2 daemons Intuit puts out: CentOS 5 Debian (Lenny) Fedora 6 / 7 / 8 Mandriva OpenSuSE 10.2 / 10.3 Ubuntu 6.06 / 7.04 / 7.10 / 8.0 Here are the components needed. Gamin - 0.1.7.7 or newer or Fam =96 2.7.0 or newer Glibc =96 2.5-3 or newer, or Libc6 =96 2.5-3 or newer Libgcc =96 4.2.1 or newer Libstdc++ - 4.2.1 or newer Which of the linux_base* ports would be best to attempt to run these two daemons. I just updated ports and have the following shown linux_base-f7 linux_base-f8 linux_base-fc4 linux_base-fc6 (and several Gentoo) Freshports shows fc4 as what you need to support a 2.4 kernel and the others as "Ignore"? What little I could figure out suggests at least some of those linux versions above are 2.6 something kernels. I guessed f8 but then found threads saying it was experimental. I'm just not getting it. Is there an easy answer or will this be a trial and error? I don't know a thing about Linux and never thought I'd have to.=
