Oh well. ;-) > > Failing that, is anyone running the Linux version under > > FreeBSD's Linux emulation? > > Don't know if that works, but emulation doesn't sound very attractive. It's not emulation in the slow sense; it's a compatibility layer which allows FreeBSD to run Linux binaries (by resolving syscalls the Linux way). It runs Linux binaries at the same speed Linux does (+ or - depending on the idiosyncrasies of the respective OSes). It's actually very compatible, normally only having trouble with Linux applications that get very low-level. I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes (for the record).
