Re: The Hurd: what is it?

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   If you have good arguments to back up that performance will be
   acceptable on Mach, please share them with us.

First define what is `acceptable'.  Acceptable in my book is 2x slower
than Linux.  This is should be quite easy to achive in Mach using
various optimisations.


And once again, this is not what I asked.  I asked what the hell the
Hurd is.  I know the merits of the Hurd on Mach, I know the merits of
Hurd on L4, I also know the merits of Hurd on something else.  What
you fail to understand is that the real world simply does not give a
rats ass about the merits of the various ports on whatever kernel as
long as one can do hack on it; and preferbly use the thing.
