FreeBSD runs (most) Linux (and glibc based) software, but is a completely different (and mostly unrelated) codebase wrt. to the libc and the kernel. The distinction is pretty much the same with Wine: Wine can run Windows binaries (mostly), but because of that it still isn't Windows. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development
