While the BSD components are based on freebsd 5 (in 10.4) guess what, fbsd is a monolithic kernel, not a microkernel, as such they have to write 'servers' (mach speak for the different threads that handle the different aspects of the operating system). HURD hasnt happened because according to stallman writing those servers "is really hard". Had you known this little detail you would know that you cant just take a BSD monolithic kernel and stick it into mach and have any sort of performance (infact early mach versions did this but the context switching caused far too much overhead). It was broken up into different processes rather than one large process that would greatly slow performance. I am sorry that I offended your religion by quoting stallman. Perhaps you should do a little more reading before you take offense to what stallman said. I do have to commend you by stating clearly this is the last time you will tell me I am right and that you really are an idiot. Perhaps now we can get on to other things. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
