Solaris - Sun's Linux Offerings - lxrun

Run Linux Applications unmodified on Solaris
As a result of collaboration between Sun Microsystems and the lxrun open development effort, Linux applications run without modification on the Solaris Operating Environment on Intel platforms.

What is lxrun? Lxrun is a freely downloadable (http://www.sun.com/software/linux/compatibility/lxrun/download.html) utility that executes Linux applications on the Solaris Operating Environment, Intel platform edition. Lxrun is a software layer that sits between Solaris and the Linux Intel binary executable and remaps system calls "on the fly" allowing them to run unmodified on Solaris.
