I was wondering about the status of the project > right now, whether it's ready to use, etc. its been ready to use for many years :) nothing much happened over the 5 months... but there are things in the queue waiting to be commited. most notably - *at syscalls (linuxulator and native ones), this is quite close to be commited (waiting for me to answer kib@ some questions which I hope to do really soon now), also epoll seems to be ready for the prime time but I havent found anyone who can review/commit that (it's really trivial so I think anyone can do that) overall the status of linuxulator is really good I'd say, especially with the recent fix to mmap() There's a plan to switch over to 2.6 emulation on default once 7.0 is released roman
