Will I be able to run the Velosis db on FreeBSD? What kind of issues will I have?

Is the binary the result of a "pkg_add" or are you simply copying files over individually? There may be some good support over at: http://www.windriver.com/press/html/bsdi_faq.html It sounds like BSD/OS (bsdi) doesn't keep pace with FreeBSD's open source community, so converting in either direction sounds difficult. Further, according to: http://www.vmunix.com/mark/FreeBSD/ "With version 2.2 FreeBSD has native support for Linux a.out and ELF binaries, SCO binaries, and perfect BSDI binary support."
