   Well, I don't think anybody is going to port ext2fs for no real reason...

Especially given that nobody in their right mind would chose EXT2FS
over the 4.4 FFS code.  Believe me, I've used both.

As far as iBCS2 stuff is concerned, we're not running Corel Draw yet
but the emulation is pretty good and getting better.

I think the original really wanted more to score points off of FreeBSD
than he wanted a serious comparison.  Ignore posts like this - Linux
advocates should RUN LINUX!  There's no reason why I'd suggest that
anyone with an investment in Linux should cross over - what would be
the point?  If Linux works for you - GREAT!  Keep using Linux!  None
of us have any axes to grind WRT Linux vs FreeBSD and we're perfectly
happy to see folks running either one, really!
