yeah...I've tried to get it to run under linux emulation but I didn't get 
it (didn't spend too much time on it).  I have had it running on my L*nux 
box since they released the beta version and have come to love it...I 
just bought a license for it.  I've written multiple letters to them 
about making a FreeBSD port but have yet to receive a response.  If you 
check their FAQ it says that they have no plans to port...if enough 
people say something, though, I bet they would.

I guess I'll have to stick with VNC on my FreeBSD box...I'll just keep 
that old P120 under the desk for Winblows...
