from CoLinux to MoreLinux :D

[Mario Marietto]

What is this ?

It seems to me that it does what Colinux did a lot of time ago,but it works
even on more cpu architectures. Am I wrong ? With l4linux I can run
multiple linux distros using the same kernel. I'm very curious to try it on
my ARM machine,since there is even a version for arm 32 and arm 64 bit. It
sounds interesting.
