Question RE: Linux Mode

[Richards, Toby]

I have to say that I really feel the FreeBSD development model and Ports system to be superior to Linux. I want to use it; however, Adobe Flash is important to me. I understand that I can run Linux Flash with FreeBSD's Linux Mode. My question is this: If I turn on Linux mode, don't I sacrifice the security, performance, and other benefits of the FreeBSD kernel vice Linux?
