Hurd and FAUMachine

Hi, at Systems expo, there was a booth by the CS department of the university of Erlangen showcasing their FAUMachine virtual machine. They advertised it as VMWare-like, but it seems to be closer to qemu (and indeed, after I asked them for a comparison to qemu, the guy conceded they were using the
