FreeBSD has a Linux emulator which works well.

Compatibility with other UNIX systems?  Well, in terms of applications, 
it runs SCO binaries better than SCO does, under emulation.  It also runs 
BSD/OS bins as native.

In terms of files, FreeBSD's filesystem is also used by at least Solaris, 
I'm not sure who else.  Linux can read it but not write it.
