If you elected linux compatibility when you installed, I believe it defaulted to fc4.

(Someone please correct me, but I concluded that fc4 stood for fedora core 4.)

If you didn't install linux compatibility, you can do so via the ports -  
~/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4.  Then, enable linux in your rc.conf file.
