A quick question... Why would we need linux binaries to run? Just get the source and compile it yourself on FreeBSD. Anything that won't compile... well, thats why so many people learn to code :) As for a good place to learn C, I suggest you just read other people's source and start figuring out how things work. I'm probly going to put up an archive of all my code (cept a few things I choose not to distribute) and I'll point you to it once I have it setup. If you still have questions go buy a nice little reference book. I personally do no kernel coding, I honestly don't think I could deal with many of the things involved in it, and I have about one year of C coding experience. Experience is of course key, and the more ya got the better ya are. /* ** Matt Harris Syko ** BPSOFH, BIOFH, C, SQL, PERL http://www.sykotik.org/~syko/ ** FreeBSD SysAdmin sykotik.org ** IRC TechnoNet - dark.technonet.net Cabalnet - dark-temple.cabalnet.org */ On Wed, 5 Aug 1998, Charlie Root wrote: > Just an idea that would make Linus Torvalds quit making linux kernels: > take the Linux kernel, Add it to the FreeBSD Kernel (i dont know what im talking about), so all Linux binaries run, then convert every single lib :P > I know it sounds like A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!
