Onderwerp: Re: [Dng] Is forking enough?
It's a really interesting idea (whether it's BSD-on-Linux or a new user-land) and I'd like to discuss it further, but I don't think here is the place.

I may email you privately with some thoughts, but if you're looking for a broader perspective I'd try http://forum.osdev.org/ or a more general Linux forum or mailing list.
