What us IT people mean, is that running an application under emulati on means it will run a little slower, as that middle abstraction layer has to e mulate and that takes CPU cycles. Another reason is that if you talk to some s Like I said in another posting, "emulation" is not the correct term to be using here then since no "middle abstraction layer" is being used in the case of Linux binary compatibility (see, there's the new phrase you should be using right there :). - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the messagehome | help
