In regard to that comment, in compsoc.unix@cse.unsw.edu.au
rhapsody was brought up and mention made of its so called "micro kernel"
base that the kernel's build around. a comparison was made of this micro
kernel to the L4 micro kernel around which a L4 version of linux (very
experimental) has been created for pc's. L4 drastically out performed the
micro kernel used in rhapsody. I cant remember its name. was it mach
something?
