nice to see someone on this list supporting the hurd!

is it possible to run hurd in a virtual machine within linux?

some years ago i read a comment stating that hurd would never support
that because it has it's own virtualization techniques that are much
better.

but unfortunately i don't have any spare hardware to run the hurd, and
while i have been hoping to try it for some time (and im keeping a spare
partition on my notebook for just that purpose) i will not have any
opportunity to play with it until it is possible to run it in a virtual
machine inside linux, so that i can run it without interrupting my main
work environment.

greetings, martin.
