Is it already possible to run GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux parallel like I
can do with neighbourhurds? Both use Mach, it should be possible to
implement the store and console interfaces on GNU/Linux and run a
neighbourhurd from there (AFAIK this is more or less how a
neighbourhurd works).

I would find this idea really exciting. Unfortunately mklinux doesn't
actively (perhaps not at all) support the IA32 platform anymore :(

Thanks,
