the "mapping stuff" doesnt always work the way you think it does. while 
most linux binaries seem ok when run under linux emulation on freebsd, some 
of them do crash for weird reasons. the linux flash plugins usually crash 
mozilla quite regularly on my notebook, for instance.

the three major bsd variants, netbsd, openbsd and freebsd, share enough 
similarities that porting such things is only needed once. porting between 
the three *BSD variants for userland applications is usually trivial.
