Yes, it does, and yes, it can be interesting. When we debug the Linux
server we do so by running it as a user task on another Linux server,
or on the OSF/1 server. Just typing 'vmlinux' at the shell-prompt (as
root) will boot up another server. Of course, you have to be careful
about which partitions the two servers write to...
