I have a client who has purchased some software.  I don't know anything =
much about it yet other than it claims to run on Debian and CentOS.  I =
suspect its binaries.  I will have access to things like the developer, =
name etc. on Monday.  However, thats when he needs to know if I can make =
it run on FreeBSD. I am not convinced I want to run production software =
on the Linux compatibility suite.  No good reason other than it sounds =
like its adding a lot more opportunities for breakage.  This has to be =
an always up application.  I have virtually no knowledge of CentOS other =
than it was installed on one server when I got it.  Any chance those =
binaries might work on FreeBSD?  I am planning on starting with FreeBSD =
8.2 since its just out and working fine on one of my servers, but could =
use an earlier version if required to make this stuff run. =20=
