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

Does the support comply with our current requirements for Linux?:

minimum kernel version: 2.0.34

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.

minimum glibc version: 2.0.7-19

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 :-)

 Hi 

What depth of FreeBSD's support for Linux applications under 
FreeBSD 4.0?  I can't seem to find adequate information online.  
Does the support comply with our current requirements for Linux?:

minimum kernel version: 2.0.34
minimum glibc version: 2.0.7-19

Current state of the art is somewhere between RedHat 5.2 and RedHat 6.0.
