Porting applications to Debian when you have an allergy to Linux, or Linux doesn’t work as well on the hardware you use, would be a good example ☺ On the other hand, it’s also a good portability test for most of the GNU software. Nobody would bug you about binary device drivers either ☺ although the BSD people (OpenBSD the most, FreeBSD the least though) strongly discourage them. For research, having the same userspace helps when trying to compare kernels directly, for instance when doing benchmarks. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
