It seems to me that is the definition of being obsolete.
I wouldn't say that GNUMach is obsolete. It is just not as feature rich as about any other kernel laying around. It works only on x86-based processors (with the exclusion of most amd64 or intel core2 cpus which tend to be in most current machines) and it has limited hardware support. On the other hand, GNUMach shares a common ancestor with BSD kernels, so I believe there is a possibility to backport some hardware and/or cpu support from for example NetBSD or something like that. There should be someone who is willing to do something about that. At least something on the support for x86_64 processors in 32bit mode, at least. And before that, there should be a plan or a roadmap that would lead to that point. -- Filip Brcic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWWeb: http://purl.org/NET/brcha/home/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
