18 февраля вышел Linux Unified Kernel 0.2.1. Это попытка перенести некоторые системные вызовы Windows NT из userspace (wine) в kernelspace. Вот что говорит Dan из команды wine по этому поводу:
"It looks like they added hooks to the linux kernel to accept windows nt syscalls. Maybe they even allow using the system's normal shared library loader instead of Wine's special one. This is something I've often wanted to do, but it was way lower priority than getting wine working. I haven't looked at their project at all, no idea if it was done well."
............
"We would, I think, like to move wineserver into the kernel sometime. It's been discussed before. Linus is not opposed to having native support for win32 system calls. A fellow at Redhat wrote a kernel module for wine a number of years ago, but it just wasn't time yet."
В двух словах на русском: 1. Возможно, этот проект позволяет использовать стандартный загрузчик динамических библиотек вместо загрузчика wine. 2. Возможно, это будет добавлено в mainstream ядро.
