You miss the point of reply.
I did that on purpose, since I too respect AST for his work. He's the first person who comes to mind when one mentions Operating Systems. That is the reason why I responded only to portions that I felt would give me a bit more information, not defend credentials of a proven Guru.
By the DAJ, since you did not reply to my point about AST's books let me give you a little something from one of them :
I didn't because I (and probably all of the computing world) knows what AST means to OS research and development on the whole, not because I wanted to nitpick.
My dear Sir, NO WHERE in my reply have i said that that Solaris is a mirco kernel. What i did say was : ``even Sun is using a Mach variant" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStep
I stand corrected. Thanks for that.
and is that a reason to dismiss the very idea of Mircro kernels itself
Not at all. The microkernel architecture is superior in most respects -- it's just not as fast as the monoliths yet. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
