Project Guest VM sounds interesting, a JVM written in JAVA running on
Xen with a microkernel written in C.

Perhaps by using etherboot:

One could boot Xen + GuestVM + River etc, using gPXE (network booting
via an eprom on the network card).
This might be used as a distributed compute farm, or for generic network
device hardware, who knows?
Just thinking about future possibilities, thought I'd share.
Cheers,
Peter.
