...and some features of the linux /proc fs, which is used by many
(commercial) packages at least during installation - I just tryed to
install Staroffice, another (for home use free) office-suit last
week. the installation program tries to open /proc/cmdline or some
such and then dies...
other than that, the linux-emulation works very well!

btw.: has someone hacked the proc-fs code to create a /proc/cmdline file?
