Linux Emulation in FreeBSD
- SunlitCat 1y agoNow! The real exercise would be to run wine for linux in that one (and of course, having FreeBSD running in a Hyper-V VM under Windows :D).
- vermaden 1y agoKeep in mind that this is not EMULATION. The Linux syscalls are just implemented into FreeBSD. In 1998-1999 they literally used FreeBSD with Linux Abstraction Layer and run Linux apps on FreeBSD instead of using Linux natively because it was faster that way.
