Hi.

Where can I find out what the current version of emulation is in NetBSD.  I
am not sure if I asked this correctly...

If I install the latest emulators/freebsd_lib what version of FreeBSD am I
emulating?

How about the latest Linux?  Is it compatible with RedHat?  For the best
Linux emulation, what packages would you install?

Right now I have:
suse_base-7.3nb4    Linux compatibility package
suse_compat-7.3     Linux compatibility package with old shared libraries
suse_x11-7.3nb2     Linux compatibility package for X11 binaries

The package I am looking to run requires either FreeBSD 4.8 or RedHat Linux
8.0

I have received some good advice on which way to go, but I need to know what
kind of modulation we have for each?

Thanks
Frank
