“Users looking to better integrate Linux into their Unix
environments might want to check out Lxrun, an open source
software tool that allows Linux programs to run on Sun Solaris and
Santa Cruz Operation UnixWare platforms.”

“Several Linux programs have been proven to run well on
Solaris/UnixWare with Lxrun, including the K Desktop Environment
(KDE) and GNOME desktop environment, the WordPerfect suite, and
Applix customer relationship management software. Standard
applications that come bundled with Red Hat Linux, such as Red Hat
Package Management system and shells, are also compatible.”
