It seems from the responses so far that the main emulations used are
BSD/OS, FreeBSD, Linux, and SVR4. Especially Linux I would imagine, now
that software companies seem to think it has reached critical mass. So,
for those emulations especially:
1) Are there any syscalls missing (for Linux, anything other then clone)?
2) Do any of the other OSs do anything strange that is not yet emulated
(such as Linux profs)?
3) Is Linux emulation at all functional on anything other then i386?
4) Does anyone know the status of the following Linux applications:
* WordPerfect
* Oracle
Thanks!
