[sorry about hijacking] Actually I was thinking a bit recently.... what about an "inverse glendix"? That is, rather than porting Plan9 to Linux, how about porting Linux to Plan9?
The thought was basically - would it be possible to make some sort of Plan9 "NDISwrapper"/"FUSE" for Linux kernel modules for drivers, filesystems etc that could be mounted/run in either Plan9 or Plan9/APE userspace? If I have understood it correctly, this is what L4, Hurd and MINIX tries to do to get good hardware support fast. I am not saying that this in anyway would be a BETTER solution than Glendix, rather a complementary one geared towards people that are more Plan9 than Linux but still would like to be able to run it on their toaster without writing every driver themselves. 2010/5/19 EBo <[email protected]> > On Wed, 19 May 2010 11:51:44 -0700 (PDT), vh4x0r > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, I'm interested in contributing to the project for creation of a > > distro based on Glendix and Gentoo.
