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.)
