have you heard of HURD?
October 14, 2004 08:11 PM
so is this a *nix?
and how is GNU/Linux any different from GNU/HURD?
besides the fact that Linux has peripheral support (ex: sound cards) and is further along than HURD.

HURD has a micro-kernel architecture

HURD is pretty much a joke.
Apparently the linux kernel isn't good enough for the GNU people (no copyright assignment to the FSF, presumably), so they're (slowly, slowly, slowly) working on their own.
It's also a microkernel, which is architecturally different from a monolithic kernel. (like linux)

That's about sums it up.

Newsflash: HURD dead, RMS still in denial. Google for details.

complete GNU newbie.
anyone can explain the difference between micro-kernel and monolithic kernel, in layman talk?
links or teh Google won't help... i need this in a language i can comprehend (ie. GPL/LGPL.... geez what a brain teaser)

most OSes are done in Assembly, C or a mixture. is it not?
wonder why they went with OOP C++, so heavily?
good point!

If you really want to know the details, google will come up with something immediately.

Isn't it meant to be a security feature that it doesn't even trust itself?
