EXCUSE ME but before you go on touting stuff like that don't forget that before the Linux kernel there was Minix and there IS something called Amoeba and there are books on OS and networks whose eloquence is UNPARALLED.
I dunno about Amoeba but I dont see Minix being used by businesses?
/me notes that you that you didn't say a word about his books.
Even Andrew Tanenbaum basically implies the same. He is an OS researcher and will advance theories in OSs.
i find it really sad that you haven't seen the level at which things are done practically in research universities all over world. Nor have you bothered to even try a simple google search to find out.
Maybe one day they'll be put into practice and a true microkernel will be born.
They are ALREADY being put into practice look at XNU it is a Mach implementation supported and being used by Apple, even Sun is using a Mach variant(even though you may not awareness of the same, nor bothered to make your self aware). And irrespective of FUD said by other people, i DO have hope for HURD and Coyotos.
Till then Linux will rule :)
yeah when the greed of corporates pumps more and more ``essential" modules, we'll see how long it rules.
Ok...i guess you're a bit sensitive about Tanenbaum. I apologize for sounding a bit harsh.
if you have EVER studied even an iota of Computer Science you would not make such a ridiculous statement.
Yes, and Linux isn't certainly killing any business, except M$ :P
A design that only solves short term problems eventually dies and takes all dependent on it to the grave.
( That was a joke! ) :P
ha ha ha /me pukes
