Hi,
you can install the gentoo linux-dist in parallel to the default linux-base.
Gentoo will be in /usr/local, not in /compat/linux. As such you have to manually
start programs there via chroot. This means you do not have access to you
FreeBSD files like normally, except you do null-mounts into the gentoo area. It
also means your experience will not be as "integrated" as with the defaut
linux-base (the linux-base port does some effort to integrate FreeBSD config
files and installed resources like fonts).
Just switching between them, like changing a symlink, is theoretically possible,
but the gentoo linux-dist port is not designed for this kind of integration.
It's a linux-"dist" port, not a linux-"base" port.
You can also use sysutils/debootstrap to install Debian somewhere. I use it with ZFS snapshots and clones and I'm really happy with it. To install Linux packages I just chroot and apt-get. It's a less straight-forward setup than with linux-base ports, but if you know both FreeBSD and Debian that's maybe the way to go :)
Bye, Alexander.

http://www.freshports.org/commits.php an update to the Gentoo Linux
distribution.
I know there are other Linux compatibility ports in the emulators category.
Is it possible to install more than one Linux compatibility package or actual
Linux installation and switch from one to the other?
I might want to install a Linux compatibility package and still be able to run
Linux software through an actual Linux installation, separate from the FreeBSD
Linux compatibility package.
Or possibly be able to compare one Linux compatibility package to another.
