I don't think it's possible without providing the linux kernel with
its own virtual machine (a la VMWare itself).
Linux and the BSD kernel will conflict in various areas over
which both want to have control; this starts with virtual memory
and procedes with the various device drivers.

How did you calculate the 95%?

This is preposterous argumentation.  Most real workstations don't
run Linux.  Do you consider them to be imperfect as well compared
to a Gnu/Linux PC?  FreeBSD makes a perfect workstation for me.
Please limit your statements to yourself next time when they're
obviously subjective.
