If you need to share a machine for hosting, then your best bet is to use Jacques Gelinas' virtual servers: http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/miscprj/s_context.hc This is actually already used by a few hosting companies and it is much better adapted to this job than anything Adeos can do. > The only resources > that are shared are the cpu and memory making it not > that beneficial to be running multiple OSes. I, for one, really like to idea of having 2 completely separate OSes each running with their separate hardware linked using a RAM-based virtual Ethernet. I don't like the idea of having to make special modifications to block device drivers and I don't like the idea of having layers of block requests (a-la VMWare). This doesn't mean other folks can't find those things of some use. But from my perspective, nanokernels are better off really being "nano" ...
