This is looking to be a pretty good release, the Linux compatibility layer actually can run Steam. https://github.com/tony/steam-freebsd-client .. I'm assuming it can also run Linux Docker Images... allowing you to presumably run secure docker images inside FreeBSD jails.

Most articles and freebsd-wiki advises to install the "docker-freebsd" package. That package is based on https://github.com/kvasdopil/docker/tree/freebsd-compat which is old and has a few issues. Two showstoppers for me was that "docker load" does not work and most times the zfs mount persists after deleting a container. My tests were done on Freebsd 10.2, I'm hoping this might change with Freebsd 11 and newer versions of upstream-docker. Unfortunately I have not found anything that suggests that docker support has improved in the newer versions.
