Well, there's also people like me: I prefer and am able to use Plan 9 the bulk of the time, but have a few particular tasks I need Linux for. It'd be nice to be able to stick the Linux box in a little jail. I'm very glad 9vx exists: I now have Plan 9 on my OS X laptop. I'd like Lvx to stick on my Plan 9 cpu servers. As it stands, I'll be converting one of my older cpu servers into a linux box in a few weeks. That makes me feel unclean. Anthony
