- bensummers 17y agoWell that's true up until a point. But an OS is more than an API, it's also a collection of files and libraries within a directory structure. In my experience Linux distributions rarely agree on these minor points, and that is where the hassle lies in porting anything non-trivial.
- mansr 17y agoThe details where they differ are not standardised. If you stick to the standards, you will have no problems. The problem with BSD is that following standards is what gets you in trouble.
