BW: Sun’s Solaris Operating Environment Runs Linux Applications

“Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced compatibility between
the Solaris(TM) operating environment and Linux applications.”

“Sun contributed software to an open source development effort
that allows users to run Linux applications on the Solaris 7
operating environment, expanding the number of available
applications. In addition, Sun will provide free development tools
that make it easy for developers to ensure source code
compatibility between Linux and the Solaris operating
environment.”

“Sun collaborated with the open development community to provide
software enhancements to a popular Linux compatibility program,
known as lxrun. With lxrun for the Solaris Intel Platform Edition,
commercially or internally developed Linux applications run
unmodified along with Solaris applications.”
