# External Projects
* [Building Linux Device Drivers on
FreeBSD](http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/linux_bsd_kld.html)
* [Project UDI](http://www.projectudi.org/), a multi-company effort to define

It might be possible to integrate these systems' device drivers, as they're
expected to mostly be using the same interfaces as the current in-kernel
Mach drivers are.
* OSF Mach
* Darwin
