Thats a good question to consider - lets think at the highest levels to set goals. So I can't resist giving my opinion :-) (1) Security. I would like peace of mind that things that are supposed to be safe, actually are. Continual news of root holes and remote exploits destroy that feeling. I want web and email without worry. (2) Resource accountability. linux lacks controls over resources consumed by processes. The most annoying lack is control of disk bandwidth consumed. It allows disk heavy activity to break both multimedia and server responsiveness. (3) Protection from data loss. I want transparent scalable network and cross-device mirroring. Disconnected operation of portable devices. Whether a disk fails, or a building burns down, or I lose a phone, I should lose no data. ever. by default. (unless I ignored the months of annoying warnings about buying more disks/network bandwidth) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
