Too bad, :(  it was a great project. Imagine , filepro in a small box for small business. Oh well, I'll switch back to linux and do some Mysql :P

Henry .. I've got a pi too, and Ken is correct.  The pi runs a ARM processor which has a RISC type instruction set.
The x86 is completely different, so running any x86 code "As-is" would not be possible.  So even if you are running
a FreeBSD O/S, it's been compiled to use that RISC instruction set.  Ken / fpTech would need to completely recompile
fP with the ARM instruction set, and even then, the 512k memory limit on a pi would make running fP painful if at
all possible.

You didn't answer my questions, but the short answer is that the computer uses an ARM CPU, which as far as I know is not compatible with the x86 line of CPUs.
