I dunno about Amoeba but I dont see Minix being used by businesses?
/me notes that you that you didn't say a word about his books.
Even Andrew Tanenbaum basically implies the same. He is an OS researcher
and will advance theories in OSs.
i find it really sad that you haven't seen the level at which things
are done practically in research universities all over world. Nor have
you bothered to even try a simple google search to find out.
Maybe one day they'll be put into practice and a true microkernel will be born.
They are ALREADY being put into practice look at XNU it is a Mach
implementation supported and being used by Apple, even Sun is using a
Mach variant(even though you may not awareness of the same, nor
bothered to make your self aware). And irrespective of FUD said by
other people, i DO have hope for HURD and Coyotos.
Till then Linux will rule :)
yeah when the greed of corporates pumps more and more ``essential"
modules, we'll see how long it rules.
Ok...i guess you're a bit sensitive about Tanenbaum. I apologize for
sounding a bit harsh.
if you have EVER studied even an iota of Computer Science you would
not make such a ridiculous statement.
Yes, and Linux isn't certainly killing any business, except M$ :P
A design that only solves short term problems eventually dies and
takes all dependent on it to the grave.
( That was a joke! ) :P
ha ha ha /me pukes
