[Qemu-devel] Solaris Linux x86 binary compatibility

[Peter Firmstone]

Hi,

You may have heard of Janus, the Solaris x86 compatibility layer to run
x86 linux binaries.  It is now renamed brandz and is available at the
OpenSolaris web site:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz

Basically it has the ability to create a linux runtime environment using
linux system libraries in a Solaris container.  It only works on Solaris
x86.

It might be possible to create a similar linux x86 runtime environment
on Solaris SPARC using QEMU's Linux user space emulator.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Peter.
