Yes, it can be done. It is done by a couple of the ports, and as such
there is a pre-ported way of doing it.
/usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools and linux_devtools-7 (depending which
version of the linux_base you have).
After that its mostly automatic. You may need to do things like get
kernel-source, or other bits depending on what you are doing.

I know this is probably going to be an odd question, but is there a way to
create true linux shell within FreeBSD, capable of running linux gcc and

I want to play with Midori Linux, which involves compiling a lot of Linux
source, for Linux. Dual booting is out of the question (my FreeBSD box
runs the home automation system). I suspect it *could* be done with a
carefully configured shell, and a bunch of Linux RPM's installed to
support gcc and the assorted libraries.
Is this possible, and if so, has pulled a stunt like this?
If not, how well does VMware run under FreeBSD, and can you ssh into the
virtual machine once it's up?
Thanks,
Seth Henry
