I hate to be negative but GNUmach 2.0 is not in great shape at least for me. I can't even boot it without a remote debugger. Under debug I get all these strange SIGTRAPs involving pmap routines (they seem harmless but are sort of annoying since I have to set up gdb to ignor them or I have to hit 'c' a bunch of times) . Uptime has not been great but I am hacking on it, maybe it would be better if it was not a dev machine. The worst part is that hardly anyone seems to run GNUmach 2.0 and there's no one to even talk about these issues with. I would like to help debug 2.0 and see it get released at some point, but I need some help. I also worry about OSKit because there a some creepy comments in that code that make you wonder how stable anything built on top of it will be. It looks like there is some major OSKit work to do, but that project is all but dead (check out the mailing list - the few questions that are asked are almost always ignored). Unless others are interested in helping with 2.0 I will finish up my entropy stuff and move on to hacking on L4. Derek
