I am working on an NAS appliance built on FreeSBD.  Several questions:

- The vendor has rebranded everything so uname isn't helping me determine
   what exact branch of FreeBSD they used.  Is there another canonical way
   to figure this out?

- For any reasonably recent version of FBSD, is it likely that the
   Linux emulation will work correctly or are there certain versions of
   FreeBSD that do this better than others?

Thanks,
--
