How FreeBSD differ from any Linx distro like Ubuntu?

by not being linux at all.

But according to Wikipedia, FreeBSD is able to run Linux compatible software
without any problems (exception for Linux Kernel 2.6) I can't run Linux software on FreeBSD?

You need to install a minimal Linux environment that contains the libraries your Linux software is linked to emulators/linux_base-fc4.

You also need to load the Linux compatibility module:

# kldload linux

or for permanent use add:

linux_load="YES"

to your /boot/loader.conf file.
