Obviously, whoever wrote that commentary on FreeBSD hadn't done his/her research on it. We have supported ELF for over 2 years, counting 3.0-CURRENT. Hell, I remember running a 3.0-SNAP in July 1998... and it did some neat ELF tricks. One of my pet peeves has always been people who didn't bother to do their research and always assumed FreeBSD wasn't nearly as much of a moving target as Linux is. *mutter, growl* ;-( > They might have to recompile their code for a newer FreeBSD, but > that's it. IIRC, code for FreeBSD 2.x compiles on 4.x? It does? Heh.. didn't think there was that much backwards compatibility as far as compile support, but binary support, sure. :-) > (PS: ObAdvocacy: That's cool. We rock. Hard.)
