Hello,
For my pure education, what is gained going the microkernel way?
Based upon Linus' post, I don't see where there are gains. Performance,
maintainability, decreased complexity all seem better with monolithic
kernels. Security maybe is better with microkernels?
Thanks.

Well, the fact that we do not have too many microkernels (just about 2 +
some variations of these) and only a few multiserver OSes should
indicate that it is not too simple (writing them).
I personally guess that some things are harder, some things are easier
and lots of things are different. But we gain a lot going the
microkernel way.
