I know this is probably going to be an odd question, but is there a way to create true "linux" shell within FreeBSD, capable of running linux gcc and creating a linux binary? I want to play with Midori Linux, which involves compiling a lot of Linux source, for Linux. Dual booting is out of the question (my FreeBSD box runs the home automation system). I suspect it *could* be done with a carefully configured shell, and a bunch of Linux RPM's installed to support gcc and the assorted libraries. Is this possible, and if so, has pulled a stunt like this? If not, how well does VMware run under FreeBSD, and can you ssh into the virtual machine once it's up?
