Minix is based on a microkernel architecture. Linux uses a monolithic kernel
instead - and this inherent difference of architecture caused that by now
well known "fall-out" between Tannenbaum and Torwalds, remember? No wonder
thus that when in March 1994 version 1.0 was presented at the University of
Helsinki, it was a totally different operating system from Minix.

Has anyone tried GNU-Mach and GNU-Hurd?
I didn't have time to have a look myself, but I am willing to see a replacement of Linux kernel where one does not have to recompile, for example, to activate the FrameBuffer, to add devices or to many other things (I admit I haven't read much about the PAMs).
NT is microkernel too, in my understanding it's a little advantage over Linux at this moment (?).
