Re: Using Linux emulation in FreeBSD to run a Debian Linux userland



The Linux emulation isn't intended to be a complete replacement for
native ABI. It's just a layer that upstream maintains in order to run
a specific set of applications.  This layer is severely limited in
other areas and can't be used as a "general ABI for everything" as you
envisioned (that is, unless you don't mind crippling Debian
GNU/kFreeBSD and turn it into a toy OS).

If half the effort that has gone into the creation of Debian
GNU/kFreeBSD went into improving the Linuxulator so that it could be
used this way, would that still be the case?

Please try to found such (wo)man-power and we can compare later.
