executables. There is a caveat compared to AROS: AmigaDOS is a shared

unix on unix implementation (where each program got its own process
space).
There exists at least UML == User Mode Linux. This is a port of the
Linux kernel to its own syscall interface. With UML you have a full
kernel running as a normal process - providing a full Linux environment.
This can be used for quite some interesting things - security (virtual
hosting, chroot() on steroids, ...) and development (debug the live
kernel, try to crash it, ...) are a few that come to mind.
