Pretty good - most things run without problems. But, the only definitive
answer is "try it and see".

We don't implement the Linux kernel as a whole; it's the API which is
implemented in FreeBSD's Linux mode (i.e. system calls). There aren't many
differences in this regard between the linux kernel versions.

The linux-base port currently installs glibc-2.0.7-29, but you're free to
add/remove RPMs as you see fit, just as with linux :-)
