No problem. Like I said, its easy to think that since they are both unixy-systems and a lot of things "rhyme" that a solution that works for one, works for the other. But that they in fact have different design and development philosophies. And this is even true amongst the BSDs themselves. NetBSD, from boot code to the top of the stack is developed independently from FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly, and vice-verse. Now, they will take ideas and re-implement them into their own stack, but they don't necessarily share code directly.
