NAME

auto-install-linux_base - Basic description here

SYNOPSIS

auto-install-linux_base [version]

ARGUMENTS

version     Suffix on an existing linux_base port

DESCRIPTION

auto-install-linux_base installs the selected linux_base port on a FreeBSD system, enables Linux kernel compatibility, and configures commonly needed special filesystems such tmpfs, linprocfs, and linsysfs. It simplifies and expedites the setup of a FreeBSD system for directly running Linux binaries.

Note that FreeBSD's Linux compatibility is not an emulation layer, but a kernel module that provides direct support for Linux system calls where the Linux KBI differs from that of FreeBSD. As a result, there is no performance penalty when running Linux binaries on FreeBSD. In fact, they may sometimes run faster on FreeBSD than they do on Linux.

RETURN VALUES

0 on success, non-zero error codes otherwise
