Interesting, how much work has to be done and if it is possible at all to load linux kernel or at least emulate its works in FreeBSD? I imaging a working linux kernel under control of FreeBSD kernel, while linux kernel gets all requestes from linux programs. This way we basically achive 95% linux compatibility, which make freebsd also a perfect workstation (for now it makes a perfect server, but linux is better as workstation because of the support from software companies).
