Solved where to ask about GNU/Linux emulation?

[dchmelik]

I've read the information/rules about the forum and am not sure I can ask something here or if I have to use one of the mailing-list/newsgroup areas. I have some questions about GNU/Linux emulation that's part of FreeBSD and don't know if that even fits under a subforum here...

If you want to discuss the LinuxKPI-type stuff that's handled in the kernel, the FreeBSD Development forum would be a good place to post.

If you want to discuss using software that uses the Linux ABI, then either of the forums under Ports and Packages section would be appropriate.

I don't know what ABI is.

If you want to discuss using software that uses the Linux ABI, then either of the forums under Ports and Packages section would be appropriate.

That section is for building/installing/updating ports, installing/updating packages and the problems that could come with it.

"Emulation and virtualization" is a better place for specific questions regarding the Linux compatibility layer.

that's part of FreeBSD 12

FreeBSD 12 has been EoL for quite some time and is not supported anymore.
