the source code is quite interesting, worth a read if you're an intermediate C nigga.

Interesting idea, won't mind seeing it get more support as it could offer some cross competition.

However after getting robbed by a guy in a Raccoon mask, bitten and clawed by a Raccoon, and having my company accuse me of theft (which was later shown to be a Raccoon, but it was still a nasty HR deal). I have to question this, solely on person judgment based on their mascot.

go home tanenbaum microkernels suck!!

>>55935949
It's what everyone would have run instead of linux if tannenbaum hadn't been threatened with being dragged to court over the license.

>>55936060
That's not true, it would've been BSD.

i like minix

>>55937436
i disagree. i mean, maybe. i think the bsd community was too fragmented. that's why linux was successful. linux is fragmented but not in the same way. everybody is still using the same core code base.

microkernels are the bomb u muddafugga stfu
desu i think linux's biggest flaw is that it's monolithic. there are tradeoffs but i like microkernels personally

Well, your newfagginess explains your ignorance.

>>55937854
Actually, Linux was successful, in part, because it was written from scratch and therefore did not suffer from intellectual property issues that Minix and other Unix derivatives (which actually used some BSD code) did. Another factor leading to Linux's success was its being licensed under the GPL.

A little off topic, but the reason HURD took off was because Stallman and the rest of the FSF/GNU project stopped active development once Torvalds GPL'd Linux, and Linux and GNU were ported to each other. Once Linux became the libre kernel for the FSF, there was no need to complete another one.

Has anybody used Tenenbaum's text book?
I was thinking of going through it to teach myself os design

lmao this is what happens to Linux without the blessings of GNU
