Hmm. I was wondering if one could make FC4/RHEL environment running in a jail/chroot on FreeBSD. I'm sure that 80% of linux programs would run almost without a hitch. Just imagine it: virtual linux box 0wn3d by FreeBSD :-) If someone knows about a how-to, please post it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
