OpenBSD Linux Compatability

[Fredrik Ludl]

Well, I can make my statement even clearer.
Both packages have something to do with Linux on OpenBSD
Linux is a jungle of different distributions with different specialties.
Some of them are commercial some are free.
In any kind, my best advise is to see what you want to do, and look in the
ports tree for the program, and not try Linux packages on your system.

In this case at least the question it justified: 'fedora' is RedHat's 
non-commercial release, so they /should/ be roughly similar.  (As the only 
thing that's really supposed to be different between those two distros is 
what happens if you pick up the phone and call RedHat, and how much you've 
paid.)
