If you onlty have one machine but want to compile for both linux and freeBSD, and you can't affort to reboot your machine (i.e. it's your mailserver etc.) then it makes sense it have one xterm in 'normal space' and one in 'linux space' where 'linux space' is a ext2fs partition(or bsd part), populated with linux binaries, and chroot'd to.. certainly good for comparing how differnt tools act, checking out the differences in the man pages, etc. etc. julian
