Overview

Its possible to use popular plugins like Real Audio, Flash, Java etc on FreeBSD natively or as emulation. I usually install the Linux version of Opera and FireFox in case the plugins dont work with the native version of the browser (though its becoming less and less a necessity to use Linux verions.

Linux Compat

1. Enable compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 sysctl
2. Install the latest linux_base from ports, at this time, Fedora 8 seems to be the latest.

portinstall emulators/linux_base-f8

Dont forget to mount /compat/linux/proc and /compat/linux/sys. See main wiki for details.

linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)
linsysfs on /usr/compat/linux/sys (linsysfs, local)
