I know that, although one would probably still want a hurd that complies to |
| 18 |
the linux interface, (provides the linux chasis) else we would have a |
| 19 |
different kind of "car" as a "linux" car isn't a "freebsd" car, "hurd" car or |
| 20 |
"windows" car. But yes, for the parts of the car that is not part of the |
| 21 |
suspension/chasis a monster truck (you know, the very very large wheeled |
| 22 |
cars), is just a car. This is also a little bit what wine (or the linux |
| 23 |
compatibility layer on freebsd) does, it provides the connection points on |
| 24 |
the engine and chasis (and even body) that windows compatible utilities |
| 25 |
expect. |
