In the mid 1990s I copied the Tru64 shared libraries and some other things from 
one of the universities Tru64 machines onto an Alpha running Linux in my 
office. With a very small amount of hacking around and configuring I got 
Mozilla and maybe a few other things to run.

Other than showing everyone who came into my office and running around campus 
extoling the virtues of Linux there was absolutely no point.

If you need to run Linux just run it... Its ported to everything these 
including probably your toaster and a I've spent more on Lunch than the cost of 
a Raspberry Pi.

Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Run Linux & Linux binaries on DOS

I remember, from DR-DOS website (drdos.com to the best of my memory), in their 
later years DR-DOS could load Linux and come back to DR-DOS after the user 
exited from Linux.

As far as I could see, it was not possible to run DOS and Linux software 
concurrently.

I never tried that, believe DR-DOS has now fallen into desuetude.

I remember there was a DR-DOS 8 that used GPL parts from FreeDOS, but that had 
to be withdrawn from the market due to legal challenges, using open-source GPL 
parts in a closed-source system.
