+    <veganman> sothere's absolutelyno way,evenslowly to run i386 linuxcode
+      under hurd/i386? Ihave a small app, commercial, which I have to get
+      running there
+    <veganman> no source
+    <braunr> no way
+    <braunr> you'd need to create a userspace linux server catching linux
+      system calls and calling hurd specific stuff to implement them
+    <braunr> it doesn't exist, it may be hard to implement
+    <braunr> some cases will definitely be hard to implement
+    <veganman> so, no magic linux lxemu on windows?
+    <veganman> or linuxemu on plan9
+    <pinotree> nope
+    <veganman> I remember somethingsilly, sonmone hadcompiled linux asauser
+      applicationon plan9 and inserted his own binaries as
+      acodeobject,toberunon plan9, for useon ibm hpc hatrdware
+    <veganman> it was ron minich
+    <veganman> 5e.iwp9.org/slides/linuxemu.pdf
+    <veganman> I think that was it
+    <veganman> google for linux & cnk for additional clues
