In the sense that FreeBSD has excellent Linux binary compatibility and one time I fired off a jail pointed at the root directory of a Gentoo stage3 archive. It didn't work 100% correctly because Gentoo's init scripts aren't exactly designed for such things, but I could SSH into it and play around.
Wow. That's seriously impressive - I knew about the binary compatibility, but didn't expect it would bootstrap a Linux distro.
Take a closer look -- if you're talking about the plaster mouldings in the ceiling in Victorian/Edwardian/Art Deco houses, they were originally there to decorate the ventilation holes for gas or fuel fumes, or in hot climates for letting hot air get into the roof.

But you should hear the laughing fits us non-USians go into when we see discussions about region-code-free DVD players for a north american audience...
On topic: Russell T. Davies (the "guy" referred to in the article) is also a great big fan and an author of Doctor Who fiction. Queer As Folk gives a pretty good indication of his talent when it comes to putting "non-standard" content in a po-mo TV context, which is why Who fans are getting pretty excited about this.
I remember Big Bird singing a song about an incredible word: Ab-ca-def-ghi-jk-l-m-nop-... you get the idea. The day before my Grade 11 Chemistry Exam I used the same method, and can still bring it back 10 years later:

Digital? Oh, you must mean Compaq.

Not the most attractive (or pronouncable) words, but it worked for me...
