system programming

[Michael S]

Good day all.

I am a computer science student taking the operating
systems course. All of our assignments are supposed
run on Linux and I don't have 
a Linux machine. 
I was wondering mostly if FreeBSD uses the same
functions for process / thread handling, whether the
header files (e.g. unistd.h, stdlib.h, etc) are in the
same locations
and whether the pthread library is present by default.

Haven't almost done any programming on FreeBSD (except
Java).

Thanks in advance,
Michael
