    Hi,

    Folks here might find this development interesting:

    <http://www.sun.com/2004-0803/feature/>

    "A new feature of the Solaris 10 Operating System lets you run Linux
    applications, unchanged, on their own or side by side with Solaris
    applications.

    "3.Aug.04--Customers who want the stability and security of the Solaris
    Operating System and the flexibility to also use Linux applications won't
    have to wait much longer. The forthcoming Solaris 10 Operating System
    (OS) will include a remarkable new feature that allows customers to run
    Linux applications unchanged on the Solaris OS.

    "By enabling this functionality, code-named Project Janus, administrators
    can create an environment for running a range of Linux applications at
    near-native speeds. Sun is offering Project Janus as an optional kernel
    service of the Solaris OS, enabling administrators to run Linux
    applications in a new and unique way on x86 platforms. In keeping with
    Sun's long-standing support of industry standards, Project Janus is
    designed for compliance with the Linux Standard Base specification.

    "Not only is Sun providing leading Linux compatibility, it's at no extra
    charge. Project Janus functionality is included in the Solaris 10
    Operating System license price, and it is designed for 100 percent
    compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. The technology includes
    installation tools to easily activate the feature of the Solaris 10 OS.

    ..."
