[ Marketing type deleted ] That doesn't matter a whole lot if there isn't any technology added to keep the emulation up to date. It's one thing to say 'Linux emulation is important to us', it's a completely other thing to say 'we don't have sufficient BSD copyrighted technology to completely emulate all of the Linux kernel functions'. If you don't have, you don't have it. And, patches are gladly accepted. Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
