FreeBSD is NOT linux. The kernel is totally different.
Could might be able to run quakeII. first, install the linux emulator, turn it
on, and give it a shot. that's what i did with quake, and it worked(x11 version).

      OK.  now I have little interest in actually doing this but It did raise
a question that is of interest to me.

        There is a Quake II package for Linux out there on the market.

On the package the requiremnets indicate that it needs at least Kernal 2.2.4
or something.... Can't remeber exactly.

        There was no indication as to which linux type setup it was refering
to.

        I assume that all Linux kernals are compatible to certain point.

        Is FreeBSD a linux kernal like the other "linux distributions"  or is
a different breed altogether?  Could I run Quake II on a FreeBSD machine.

        It may seem like an odd question...but I am just not used to looking
at requirements for an OS that isn't DOS/WINDOWS......

        Thanks

FreeBSD is an entirely different OS.  FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD
are derived from the University of California's 4.4 BSD code.
For more info these OS's, see

http://www.freebsd.org
http://www.openbsd.org
http://www.netbsd.org

FreeBSD (and possibly the others) can run most linux compiled programs,
and I believe Quake II is one of them.   Go to http://www.freebsd.org
and search the multimedia mailing list.
