Yay! Victory RevServer runs on FreeBSD with Linux Compat installed.

[Pierre Sahores]

Congratulations Andre ;D

Does FreeBSD run an SELinux (RedHat) or AppArmor(Suse) kind of security demon.

Kind regards,

Pierre

PS :  a little "configuration+make+make install" on the revserver sources "et voilà", mothership compile an up to date revserver for FreeBSD available for sale. Would be realy cool usefull !
