You can run a.out executables on Linux just fine. Not sure if Ubuntu ships with a.out support or not, but that is really irrelevant.



Nice how you avoided the issue of running code targeted for 0.98.1 (latest kernel release in 1992) against kernel 4.4.z.

Not to mention how disparate the file system structure, including device drivers, of something like Yggdrasil Linux 1.0 is compared with modern distributions.

As I said, easily verified by dusting off Walnut Creek CD's and picking a random binary from them.
