Hi,
I apologize beforehand if this topic has already been discussed at
length here or elsewhere.
More and more commerical sites are providing software packages that contain
binaries for Linux. While FreeBSD does provide Linux emulation, this is often
flaky and breaks down more often than not for commercial software. On the other
hand, the FreeBSD kernel is superior than that of Linux.
Since FreeBSD and Linux have so much in common wrt to the user interface
to the kernel, wouldn't it be so much better if both had the SAME interface
such that the Linux kernel could just be replaced by the FreeBSD kernel.
That way, one would be able to take advantage of both the increasing
development of software for Linux, as well as the strengths of the FreeBSD
kernel. It would give FreeBSD much greater visibility.
Can someone comment on how difficult achieving the above would be ?
