Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally
running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative
Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows
it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single
machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows
2000/XP/Vista/7, without using a commercial PC virtualization software
such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any
general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it
allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows.</p><p class="gmail-_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><br></p></blockquote><p class="gmail-_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">CoLinux
is very old and not maintained for a lot of time and I'm not
interested in resurrecting it (and I don't have the competences to do
it),BUT I'm interested to gather some information about a similar
project that I have in mind. What about if,instead of having a Linux
kernel which can run Windows cooperatively,we have a Linux kernel that
can run more Linux distributions (maybe only 2 as a starting point,as
CoLinux already does) at the same time,without using virtualization
software ? Is the technology behind Colinux the same that's under the lxc or docker containers or the WSL2 subsystem ? What are the differences ? <br></p></div><div><div class="gmail-_3cjCphgls6DH-irkVaA0GM"><div class="gmail-_292iotee39Lmt0MkQZ2hPV gmail-RichTextJSON-root"><p class="gmail-_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I
don't use WSL2,I don't use Windows so much. I like Linux and
FreeBSD. So,an even nicer idea is to create a coLinux variant that
allows the Linux kernel to cooperate with FreeBSD. This is even nicer
than making a cooperation between 2 Linuxes.</p></div></div></div><div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Mario.<br></div></div></div>
