Hi,
when I wrote about a problem I encountered with pistachio about two
weeks ago, I was told that L4Ka::Pistachio is not (mainly) used among
the developers due to security issues.
The Hurd3 is based on Coyotos micro-kernel,
the successor to EROS (see: http://coyotos.org)
The Hurd2 is based on L4 microkernel
and,
The Hurd1(The GNU/Hurd) is based on Mach microkernel..
Hope, after all this research, Hurd-kernel can define an interface/model,
1. which makes it independent of underlying micro kernel,
2. and also hope, it is almost independent of
RT-Hurd(embedded) and the Hurd(desktop),
3a. and also hope, _user_ has the freedom to do all the things
within his capabilities, in a simple, easy and a straightforward manner.
3b. and also hope, the interface/model is _not_ restricting some silly
things, which
forces an user to use qemu to debug his program, etc.
( I used both #3a and #3b to express third requirement. Can someone clarify?)
Since I wanted to play around
with Hurd on L4 a little and (if happy) try to contribute to the project
myself (if I can...),
Oh I'm a newbie, But I think, you need to move on to Hurd3 from Hurd2..
Btw, I just downloaded coyotos from homepage..
Do anyone has some good documentation on
Bitc and coyotos architecture, other than source?
I would really like to use the right kernel.
If there is such an interface, every kernel is ok, only efficiency will matter.
