Well, personally I use linux_base-8.. but you can use whichever suits your needs.. exactly what linux binaries are you attempting to run on this system?

My FreeBSD-4.11R system gives me on "portupgrade linux_base" an upgrade to some RH-7.3 linux release. Lots of other ports seem to relate to linux_base-8. If I deinstall linux_base, WHAT other port package do I really need (want). There is lots of them nowadays (redhat, debian, suse; I lost track..)
