[coLinux-devel] Adding support in Linux mainline

[me s. <me...@gm...>]

Colinux have to update the Linux kernel for all the new kernel releases.
Cant we add some code in Mainline Linux kernel which will reduce this work
as we will get the support to Colinux directly from original Linux kernel ?.

Yeah, it would be great to split kernel-only-related changes/api and
colinux-only drivers/patches

well, the direction could be blend into para-virtual framework. that in
theory will make the change easy to migrate.

 Me and my 3 friends are very much comfortable in working on this project.
Will Linux community be comfortable in adding support of coLinux in
mainline(as it is currently developed for Windows OS) ?

colinux can also run under 32bit linux even though the main purpose is for
colinux is to run linux inside of windows.

Have you compared those ?
And If it is also supporting running under Linux why binaries are not
available on website?

performance of colinux is for sure much greater than UML. In theory,  for a
32bit x86 cpu colinux should be faster than any other VMs (virtualbox,
vmware etc)

I see many reasons why no binaries,
1. lack of demand, hence developer frequently neglect the compatibility
when introducing new code, and this breaks the compilation
2. requires rebuild for each host kernel level.
3. colinux only works in 32bit mode
