Ok but then what it means what I read below (taken from wikipedia) : L4Linux also allows setting up a virtualized <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization> environment vaguely similar to Xen <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen> or Kernel-bas <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine> ed Virtual Machine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine> (KVM), but a few significant differences exist between the intent of Xen and L4Linux.

With l4linux (or redox) can I boot and run 2 linux distros using the same kernel ? I ask because the developers talk about virtualization and because CoLinux allows us to boot Linux while using Windows What I'm very interested to achieve is to run Linux as a process under FreeBSD or vice versa,using the best of those two microkernels.
Neither FreeBSD nor Linux has a microkernel. From all your questions I think it would be helpful to read up on some Operating System Theory before you go on. I can recommend "Operating Systems - Three Easy Pieces" ( https://techiefood4u.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/operating_systems_three_eas... )
It's almost as good as the Tanenbaum Classic, but free.

Thats a micro-kernel, sort of like GNU Hurd.
theres also https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch04-01-microkernels.html <https://doc.redox-os.org/book/ch04-01-microkernels.html>
