Do the libraries change? Sure, some libraries changes did occure. At least minor versions were. A more detailed information you may discover the differencies looking at makefiles and pkg-plist files. Supporting software? Hw, compat.linux.osrelease should be set to 2.6.16. Can freebsd effectively emulate any kernel version? No, the default is 2.4.2 and a planned one (not default and not fully supported, but in a good shape so far) is 2.6.16.

In some blogs or wikis it mentions setting the sysctl compat.linux.osrelease to either 2.4.2 or 2.6.16, and (in some of my fiddling during tests) I've found I can actually set the kernel settings to suit pretty much any software that needs to run.

I just updated ports and have the following shown linux_base-f7 linux_base-f8 linux_base-fc4 linux_base-fc6 (and several Gentoo) Freshports shows fc4 as what you need to support a 2.4 kernel and the others as Ignore? What little I could figure out suggests at least some of those linux versions above are 2.6 something kernels. I guessed f8 but then found threads saying it was experimental. I'm just not getting it. Is there an easy answer or will this be a trial and error?
