No, Inferno resembles - very superficially, as you will discover if you study the literature - a JAVA interpreter surrounded by its own operating system. There are so many clever things about Inferno, it is hard to do it justice. But it is not a virtualiser. More's the pity, of course. A virtualiser with Inferno's good features would be a very useful device. Actually, I have long had a feeling that there is a convergence of VNC, Drawterm, Inferno and the many virtualising tools (VMware, Xen, Lguest, etc.), but it's one of these intuition things that I cannot turn into anything concrete. ++L
