I have never heard of 16 bit userland and a 32 bit kernel, though. In
the present case in a sense you can have the best of both worlds on one
system. 8-)
Has there ever been an official 16 bit linux kernel?
I could be wrong but I think the closest would be Minix '87 running on
8086, Linus was not doing his thing until '91 or maybe later, he may
have started on a 8086, not sure.
