Did I seriously get down-voted for asking a legitimate technical question? That's an abusive down-vote in my opinion, people should be able to ask technical questions without being ridiculed because they don't know the specific inner-workings of different OS kernels.

Um, BSD is a unix, right? Did you mean to ask about porting from Linux to BSD?

Ah ok, fair enough. How hard is porting from Linux to BSD?

In my experience not hard as long as you wrote portable code.

The hardest bit is compiling a universal binary.
