OH! I forgot to say some things more....
First, why Mach uses the same drivers that linux uses ? I saw this as
a fast and ugly implementation. I don't know, but I think that there
should be drivers specially written for the hurd instead using other
OSs drivers.
Also, I've seen somewhere (correct me if this is not true) that Mach
should be rewritten, don't remember why. But is somebody doing this?
As hurd gets more code, it should be stronger to replace the current
mach microkernel....
Well, now that's all. :)
Bye!
