There's no native version. But of course - and having done that, most linux apps are also FreeBSD apps. but FreeBSD also has the ability to run BSDI binaries - take, for instance, the Netscape commerce server - unfortunately, Linux users don't have that option right now... BTW SCO can now run "windows nt advanced server" as a task, so perhaps one could pick up the cheapest windows nt version of a www server and run it on the SCO machine, if you really want to be perverse.
