Hello

I'm going to run Oracle client on a FreeBSD amd64 9.1-RELEASE box.

As far as I can understand, amd64 emulation is never really started; 
linux emulator in kernel is limited to (somehow ancient) osrelease=2.6.16.

What are the nowadays working way to run native Linux binaries? Some 
2.6.16-compartible distro? VirtualBox? qemu? If qemu, what qemu config 
is the most stable?

Alex
