+ <veganman> sothere's absolutelyno way,evenslowly to run i386 linuxcode
+ under hurd/i386? Ihave a small app, commercial, which I have to get
+ running there
+ <veganman> no source
+ <braunr> no way
+ <braunr> you'd need to create a userspace linux server catching linux
+ system calls and calling hurd specific stuff to implement them
+ <braunr> it doesn't exist, it may be hard to implement
+ <braunr> some cases will definitely be hard to implement
+ <veganman> so, no magic linux lxemu on windows?
+ <veganman> or linuxemu on plan9
+ <pinotree> nope
+ <veganman> I remember somethingsilly, sonmone hadcompiled linux asauser
+ applicationon plan9 and inserted his own binaries as
+ acodeobject,toberunon plan9, for useon ibm hpc hatrdware
+ <veganman> it was ron minich
+ <veganman> 5e.iwp9.org/slides/linuxemu.pdf
+ <veganman> I think that was it
+ <veganman> google for linux & cnk for additional clues

+ <chromaticwt> is it possible to transfer servers running on one microkernel
+ on one machine, to another microkernel running on a different machine?
+ <chromaticwt> two machines will be running the complete os
+ <antrik> well, if the code for network-transparent IPC still existed, it
+ might be possible to move a task to another machine, while keeping the
+ port associations with the original system...
+ <antrik> if you mean actually moving it to another system, that's pretty
+ much impossible in any system that has stateful interfaces
