Hi, this description looks a little bit short to me. A more detailed description is available at http://www.Leidinger.net/blog/2010/09/28/the-freebsd-linuxulator-explained-for-users/

The actual thing is, linuxulator is a Linux kernel running as a FreeBSD kernel module. The only thing FreeBSD kernel do is to identify the Linux program and to pass it to the Linux kernel. To the Linux programs inside a GNU chroot enviroment, they think they are running inside a Linux box and actually they are running inside a Linux box. To the Linux programs running under a FreeBSD base, they may identify that the base is not GNU by invoking some external programs like `uname`. However, we can replace their sh with /compat/linux/bin/sh, so that they are blind again. > Tom > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" -- Zhihao Yuan, nickname lichray The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ___________________________________________________ 4BSD -- http://4bsd.biz/
