Re: build OpenBSD on Linux

[Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh@vsnl.com>]

Hi,

Check out for something called picoBSD, you'll find it very interesting...

About building your other embedded stuff, you are able to build it on top
of Linux because the target OS too is Linux, but developing something like
OpenBSD on Linux would be too hairy to start with...

Warm Regards,
