Clearly the author of that article doesn't agree with you or he wouldn't have written "In effect". If your statement had been: "linuxulator is effectively a Linux kernel running as a FreeBSD kernel", then it wouldn't have been plain wrong. > So, if you define a Linux kernel as "every thing written by Linus and > his followers", then I'm wrong; but if you agree that "Android is not > GNU but it does run a Linux kernel", then I'm probably right. Android is based on fork of Linux, it contains real Linux code. All you could argue from that is that the linuxulator could be called Linux if it were based on Linux code. _______________________________________________ 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"
