3. It's not monolithic program as some other kernels ;-) Instead, "The Hurd is a collection of servers (user processes) that run on the Mach microkernel"[1] and communication between these servers (Inter-Process Communication--IPC) is expensive in GNU Mach. We hope L4 to solve this problem at least partially :-) [1] quote from http://hurd.gnu.org/ Regards -- Ognyan Kulev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "\"Programmer\"" _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
