The Linuxolator is a freebsd specific term for the linux binary
emulation on freebsd.

AFAIK it is done by implementing a small layer between the linux
libraries and programs and the freebsd kernel. This small layer does
nothing more than forming a linux kernel api and translating linux
kernel calls to the freebsd equivalent.

See there for more details and in depth explanations:
