While reading about User-mode linux I got to thinking about how MKlinux works, after looking at their site it appears that it works in a similar manner (i.e. a port of a kernel to another kernel. and from what little I understand about Darwin it is a BSD kernel ported to mach. In theory could one run linux and/or BSD on top of the mach kernel alongside the hurd? It would make it a lot easier if I could run GNU/linux while gradually learning/using/playing with the hurd.I don't think it can work that way, since Hurd and Linux have different formats for executable files, and different versions of glibc.
If you want to use GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd at the same time, you could:
1. Network a GNU/Linux box to a GNU/Hurd box and telnet/ssh into the GNU/Hurd box from within GNU/Linux; or
2. Run GNU/Hurd inside Bochs. =) (In which case, a fast computer would be a good thing.)
