I know little about this Hurd 'little' thing, but it gives me the shivers like systemd. Similar to the latter, there is a small core at the centre with all the other helper executables intercommunicating. Sounds too complicated to get the added advantage, of having a very minimal kernel running with root privileges, while all other helper executables that do not need root privileges, run with a lesser priviledge.
If I am remember well, MS Windows (the operating system) does have a micro-kernel, but is it more efficient with an extra layer of intercommunication? I will stay with Linux, even though it is a huge monolithic executable. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
