Once (about a year and a half ago) for kicks I set up a Debian installation in
a chroot tree under FreeBSD - I was very impressed at how much of the system
actually ran. The things I had problems with were things like mount and
friends which (I'm guessing) require syscalls we don't (didnt) implement yet.

It might be very interesting to run this under a phk jail and perhaps get some
of the extra syscalls implemented - this could make for a kick-arse
demonstration :-)
