Apples, oranges and BSDsApples, oranges and BSDsPosted Jan 6, 2006 5:16 UTC (Fri) by roelofs (subscriber, #2599)In reply to: Apples, oranges and BSDs by eru Parent article: NetBSD 3.0 In Linux you still have to work on the userland after getting the kernel running. Actually, once the kernel is there--which implicitly means GCC is--userspace stuff is relatively trivial. X is about the only "standard" thing that comes to mind as potentially difficult, and that only because it has its own drivers. If your kernel port includes a framebuffer and USB (at least USB keyboard/mouse), even X is pretty straightforward. The biggest hiccups actually come when you try to cross-compile things, but that has nothing to do with any given kernel, and it can be mitigated by getting a native filesystem and toolchain set up early.
