The Linux Unified Kernel is a project to import certain key features of the Microsoft Windows operating system into the Linux kernel. The product contains linux patch, kernel modules and wine patch. The project is hosted by Insigma, and is issued under the GPL.

According to its developers, the current version of (0.2.1) provides several Windows mechanism implementations, including process/thread management, object management, virtual memory management, synchronization, etc. The relevant system calls are implemented to replace the services running in the user space, as well.

Process/thread management which is one of the most important components in Linux Unified Kernel is implemented based on the previous release. In this version, some other strategies such as multi-threading are introduced, so that the process/thread management can take the place of the corresponding operations in Wine.

Object management and virtual memory management are the new features. Object management which has no counterpart on Linux builds an infrastructure for all the Win32 objects, and virtual memory management combines Win32 system calls to their core operations in Linux kernel.

One of the interesting features of the project is that the windows syscalls via software interrupt "int 0x2e" are explicitly handled by the extended kernel, as well as Linux syscalls via "int 0x80".

The present release is based on Linux kernel 2.6.23 and Wine version 0.9.40
