Hi
I'm looking for a solution for running one or more application (preferably Qt-apps) on a microkernel and along side of those apps running a complete Linux environment. The thing is that the Qt-apps can be trusted (i.e somewhat trusted, since these are built in-house and should not contain any malicious code) and the Linux environment cannot be trusted since this will be open for others to develop application for.
My first thought was that I should use a virtualization solution but one of the requirements are that both all apps should be visible on screen, and preferably be able to use hardware accelaration.
As I understand you can run both native Qt-apps on the microkernel and also a Linux environment, but how are they separated? if someone manage, lets say, a buffer owerflow in Linux how far down the tree will it reach? Can it break the complete system?
And another question, for the live-cd image you fire up a console (maybe Busybox), can you give me any hints on how to make it work or do I need to download it and port it from scratch?
Thanks in advance!
