best Mach phrase: "micro kernel doesn't mean it is small, just that it
does not do much".
from a flame war that erupted when the leviathan mach 3.0 came out.
Well, it may have been big, but at least it was slow.
Lots of good research came out of mach ... not what you think. sandia
national labs has done lots of great OS work for 10 years, or so,
spurred on by the unusable Mach-derived OSF-1/MK-AD that came on their
paragon, and the need to toss it and start clean. SNL did some very nice
work, all due to the need to get rid of the "micro kernel".
