I have some technical questions: > Kernel is NetBSD.
How big are the differences between FreeBSD and NetBSD? Could Debian/BSD support both kernels (... in a later version)? > Libc is NetBSD's unless/until somebody ports GNU libc; then maybe both. How dependant are common programs on the BSD/Linux architecture? It would be great, if packages (not needing any low-level calls) could be kernel-independant (so we end up with binary-all, binary-i386, binary-lin386, binary-bsd386) I don't think this will work with NetBSD's libc, but if there were gnu libc for NetBSD - could binaries be compatible? Off-topic: how much speed gain could be achived by binary-i686? > Kernel-related utilities (ifconfig mount etc.) are from NetBSD. there's no way around that ;) But i would prefer if these utilities would be paramter-compatible with the Linux one's. (i'd like some "great BSD+Linux unification";) > File system layout is Debian/FHS. The thing i think is the most important thing. Greetings, Erich
