Hi,
I have finally got one of my machines up and running NetBSD (switching from
Doamin/OS to NetBSD). If anyone need the same help, I am willing to answer if I
could.
Anyway, in INSTALL file :-
>NetBSD 1.1 has significantly enhanced the binary emulation subsystem
>(which includes iBCS2, Linux, OSF/1, SunOS, SVR4, Solaris and Ultrix
>compatibility) and several kernel subsystems have been generalized
>to support this more readily. The binary emulation strategy is
>aimed at making the emulation as accurate as possible.
Does this mean that NetBSD is binary compatible with the OSes mentioned
above? When tried to run a few programs of other platform but NetBSD told
me Wrong Architecture... Any pointer is appreciated.
Thanks.
