[»] OS Archetecture
by mcoon - Feb 22nd 2006 09:55:03

Cool project! Looking at the archetecture of this kernel (and its ability to run a psuedo-virtualized linux at nearly linux's native speeds) I fully expect to see the Linux kernel officially go in this direction in the near future.

Tacked to my cube wall is a discussion between Tannenbaum (minix) and Linus from the 80s where it was decided that the microkernel archetecture was the way to go. Funny how its taken all this time to finally come 'round to proving its utility in the real world... not to mention implementing it.
