Re: [Trisquel-users] When is GNU Kernel going to be released?

[magicbanana]

Until now, the advantages of a microkernel are more theoretical than real.  
Anyway it is true that with processors that may, in the near future, have  
hundreds of cores, Linux may go through scalability troubles. I doubt the  
number of drivers is an issue though (do you have any reference?): Linux is  
monolithic but highly modular too.

Debugging a microkernel is very hard and explains why the HURD is still far  
from being usable in production. The GNU project did not know that when the  
technical architecture was chosen.
