Sure.... but I think what makes dos-based linux system attractive is that you give people another reason do develop linux applications. You can run the 32-bit binaries not only on linux but also in dos/windows; people will just develop a single binary that works on almost all platforms. On the other hand, this gives another reason to stick to dos/windows, you run can linux binaries from there too. If we plan this right... it might go in favor of linux.
golinux.exe! :)
