Use Linux as your driver repository... this is an approach used by some microkernel systems like L4.

I also read the paper of vx32 last week.
Now, everything goes fine, and got a fun to play with
games/mahjongg on that virtual machine.
Thank you very much Russ!

However, I have somewhat confused mind.... Why it's not Linux vx for
Plan9?   I have no intention to make it bad, however, if we believe
Plan 9 is better than Linux, then Linux vx for Plan9 should be more
neccessary, shouldn't ?
