Quoting Super Bisquit <superbisquit@gmail.com> (from Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:33:01 -0400): > Has Linux emulation on PowerPC been tested? > Also, if the required dependencies are downloaded, would the creation of a > $PATH/Linux directory be sufficient for the executing of binaries? I don't know about the kernel side on PowerPC (there was no discussion about this on emulation@, I've just seen some SVN commits regarding it, but I don't remember to have seen it going into HEAD), but the userland side should not be $PATH/Linux, it's /compat/linux (which normally should be a symlink to /usr/compat/linux). And it is not as easy as "downloading it", if you really talk about a linux_base like behavior. If you just want to give it a try (e.g. in a chroot), a copy of an existing linux system would be a good start.
