Good day all,

I am not sure this is the correct list for my
question, I am still going to ask though.
I am a 3rd year computer science student and in the
fall I am going to be taking courses in network and
system programming (with pthread). As a lot of
universities do, mine also teaches these courses on
Linux. I was wondering if there was a lot of
difference in socket and multi-threaded programming
between Linux and FreeBSD?

Hi Michael,
the system calls you'll need for networking socket programming and
pthreads are POSIX compliant on both linux and freebsd.
Thus, you'll be able to port your programs between the two systems.

I suggest to refer to the POSIX pages on threads:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_09.html
and sockets:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_10.html

and to read the wonderful Beej's guite to network programming:
http://www.beej.us/guide/bgnet/

Thanks in advance,
I hope this helps,

Michael
