Is Hurd good?
Hello,
I have a question for you:
An low level application that runs under HURD should first "talk" with a
server and the server will send the request to the microkernel and the
mircokernel to the hardware. In linux the same application "talks"
directly with the kernel and the kernel with the hardware. But in hurd
if an error occurs inside the server then that particulary server
colapses but the mircokernel and the other servers survive(and can even
restart that server), and if the same kind of error ocurs in the linux
kernel(or other bigger kernel) the kernel colapses.
So the HURD will be the most stable and the most secure operating system
on earth but also the most slowest operating system on earth (because
the request travels a longer way)?
Please help me clear this image I have about the "microkernel versus
kernel"....
