FreeBSD does not use Linux drivers as they are GPL. If you have proof otherwise, please post it. Of course, if you are referring to companies such as NVIDIA porting their drivers from Linux to FreeBSD, then you are correct. A counter example would be FreeBSD having USB support long before Linux (I haven't looked up the exact dates). > all your nice tidy init scripts into a single bash script in /etc/rc.d All shell scripts in FreeBSD use /bin/sh, which is not bash. bash only gets installed from ports if the user chooses to install it. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
