greets-
it sucks that people on the hurd mailing list are so lazy and arrogant
huh? I've been reading and screwing around with the hurd for about a
1/2 of a year now and there has been NO improvement--no on really
wants to work on a kernel that is going to be trashed within 2 months
so no one codes anything. I thought L4 would be great but then
everyone wants to wait for coyotes which is a fucking commerical
endeavor! Shapiro is quite an asshole and is very elitist and
controlling while others are doing other things at the time.
I agree with you that there needs to be a new kernel design with a new
language other than c but I want to work on something NOW that we can
at least boot with qemu. I mean for crying out loud I worked with uuu
back in the day when it was pure assembly and we had network drivers,
graphical display, sound, etc. within 3-4 months of the project's
inception--granted one of our members lived, ate, and slept assembly
but that's besides the point--the point is that we should start coding
now
if you would like to start up a new list that we may actually get
something going I'd be more than happy to help.
It will be another week before I have steady internet access because
I'm waiting for my connection to be hooked up as I just moved--right
now it's coffeeshops and neighbor's access points.
I know less than 20 lines of assembly will boot a kernel into
protected mode and am a great fan of tenenbaum's os design books.
Anyways, ttyl
