I need to get something to run on x86 computers which do not contain 
math in hardware, and FreeBSD dropped non-math cpus long time ago. 
NetBSD did the same, so Linux seems to be the only possibility.

So, the question:

What is the linux distro which is closest to FreeBSD in terms of 
installation and use.  A linux with basic userland and ports(-like) 
system, and quick and easy install like FreeBSD ?
