-[[!meta title=" Could it be possible to have a system installation where you can
-dual-boot using either the [[Linux]] kernel, or the GNU Hurd, so that
-everything but the kernel is shared?]]
-
-Given that both Linux and GNU Hurd are using the [[ELF]] binary
-format, this could indeed be made possible, if all programs agreed to rely on
-only one abstraction layer, for example the standard C library ([[glibc]]).
-(Additionally, for example for [[system call]]s that are not covered by glibc
-calls, you'd need to be able to reliably trap and emulate these.) However,
-Linux' and the GNU Hurd's [[ABI]]'s have sufficiently diverged, so that this is
-not easy to do. That's why you can't currently install a system in this way,
-but you need a separate installation of the userspace suited for the Linux
-kernel, or the GNU Hurd.
