Hmm... Propose me a valid alternative for x86 platforms, and will be more
than happy to switch (well, apart from BeOS, my second big love!)
Well, I know, it's not a microkernel, and in theory, HURD should kick asses,
but it's not ready for prime time just yet. I hope in Debian's effort to
bring it to life. (GNU HURD more or less is like Mach-O, OS/X kernel, and
IMO, the _best_ kernel on this planet, despite what Linus says)
