I hadn't noticed the Solaris Linux Application Environment in Solaris 10 before. Sun has some interesting things to say about it at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ds/linux_inter op.jsp. I wonder how well it works.

Sun is taking Linux interoperability to the next level with the new Solaris Linux Application Environment feature in the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) for AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon x86-based systems. The Solaris Linux Application Environment (LAE) allows Linux applications to run unchanged on the Solaris OS when coupled with a Linux distribution. This enables businesses to take advantage of the innovations in the Solaris 10 OS without sacrificing investments in existing Linux applications.
