hello, I was just reading you Debian GNU/HURD web page and I am really confused about the term OS and kernel.
For sure, I know that "Linux" is a kernel and "Debian GNU/Linux" is an OS that ported on the "Linux" kernel. >>> But what about "HURD", is it an OS or is it a kernel like Linux? The reason I ask the question because on the web page the webmaster refers to "HURD" as OS and a kernel. The webmaster says that "Debian Gnu/Hurd" is a porting project to an operating system kernel and core component, the "HURD". And then he continues to say that "Debian Gnu/Hurd"'s goal is to build application on top of the "HURD" OS. >>> Also, what is the different between a kernel and a microkernel? I am a newbie, so dumb it down for me when you answer these questions, thank, I appreciate it, Tam, not on the mailing list email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
