If you were documenting yourself a bit instead of trolling, you'll notice that's the GNU Hurd is not based on Mach. The GNU Hurd tries to be micro-kernel independant, and will be ported to other microkernels, like L4 Version 4. And if you look a bit in the history, you'll notice that second generation micro-kernels (like L4) were not available, or even designed, at the time Mach was chosen as the first microkernel to make the Hurd runs on. -- Gael Le Mignot "Kilobug" - kilobug@nerim.net - http://kilobug.free.fr GSM : 06.71.47.18.22 (in France) ICQ UIN : 7299959 Fingerprint : 1F2C 9804 7505 79DF 95E6 7323 B66B F67B 7103 C5DA Member of HurdFr: http://hurdfr.org - The GNU Hurd: http://hurd.gnu.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
