[Barrelfish-users] running linux on barrelfish

[Timothy Roscoe]

Hi Joe, 

We already run Linux in a virtual machine above Barrelfish (with the
right hardware support), and even have some device pass-through
capabilities (we can re-export a network device, for example).
However, it's fairly rudimentary at present and (so far) is not a key
research direction for us. 

On the other hand, if you want to try to make it work with more
hardware than we support right now, we're happy to help with advice
and information... 

Best regards,

 -- Mothy
