Quite a bit of work has been done on NetBSD’s Linux binary compatibility lately. Shared memory support has been improved to such an extent that Oracle 9i will now run on an i386 machine and most tools seem to work. For more information, see Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia’s document on getting it working.

Hmm… I wonder if it works well enough to try installing SAP R/3 on a NetBSD/i386 machine yet? After all, R/3 works with FreeBSD’s Linux ABI.
