About the NetBSD compatibility issue, well, what is really needed is a common BSD ABI for the userland. Otherwise the BSD's are doomed to run the linux binaries... ;-) Having cross operating system binary compatibility is the first step at evaluating the pros and cons of the different implementations. Agreeing on the details should not hurt anyone. Now that NetBSD has FreeBSD compatibility, anyone tried booting NetBSD kernel on top of FreeBSD userland ? And if that can be made working, wouldn't the opposite situation make porting FreeBSD to platforms, where NetBSD already can be set up, a great deal easier project. Then the first thing would actually be supporting NetBSD binaries (;
