(See my signature for my qualifications to know what it was intended for!). I wrote PetiteCloud on FreeBSD, for FreeBSD and used bhyve as the primary hypervisor. The linux stuff was 1) to show the flexibility it had and 2) attempt to widen the audience to people who think FreeBSD is some kind of poor step child to Linux (if anything Linsucks is the poor step child to FreeBSD and the other BSD's). If you really want to know more see the interview I did in BSDMag (Dec. 2016) on the matter. BTW I am also a port maintainer and the largest headache in that regard is fixing weird and pointless assumptions made by Linux developers (even if their overall idea is great). For example redefining the entire macro set for Bison and making it incompatible with newer versions of Bison (spent 2 weeks so far fixing this on devel/aegis and still not done, not even sure how recursive the rabbit hole is). -- Aryeh M.
