I'll continue to check Faqs, but just >haven't found anything yet.... You recall right :-) I have done the initial footwork for running Linux binaries under FreeBSD. The status is that it's possible to run both static & shared bins, and it will run a shell (bash), but much work is still needed to get it into a polished product for general consumption.
