You could try ;) Definitely, it will be the best test wether the MMU emulation
works. Other than linux, there are only things like outside or vram that
really make use of the mmu, but i'm not sure wether they interfere with the
gemdos emulation. To load linux you either have to find some ataboot.prg to
start it from tos, or implement it directly in Hatari, like Aranym does. There
should be some linux images available somewhere, one for an older debian sarge
kernel, and also some other with a more recent kernel. I only just can't find
the links currently... let me know if you need them.

I'm not sure, at least there is no dynamic loader for a.out anymore in glibc.

Not only a.out binaries. There is no such thing as a p_root system variable
that would tell you the basepage of the current program ;)
