-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody, Since my ISDN-card does not work on FreeBSD (so far), I am unable to connect to the internet from FreeBSD, so I am largely unable to access the ports tree. Now I got hold of a six-CD-set of NetBSD-1.6 + lots of packages. I installed it on my machine, but I think I like FreeBSD-5.x better (easier to use and configure, plus I got "The Complete FreeBSD" lying around). I've heard great things about binary compatibility between the three BSD-systems, so I thought, maybe I can just install the NetBSD-packages on my FreeBSD-system? Has anyone ever tried something like this? Did it work? How does this work performance-wise? Kind regards, Benjamin - -- Benjamin Walkenhorst eMail: krylon@gmx.net homepage: http://www.krylon.de -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public Key available at http://www.krylon.de iD8DBQE/PQoLoYumWdMvhMQRAsXUAJ4qTuegntpAnQODV2TBdcuKToOOMwCcDCiL Y7fcyKg95p5GC/oqUXEUEqo= =lLYJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
