There's also freedows, or any of the message-passing OS variants that are a little more revolutionary...
If you want "revolutionary," take a GOOD gander at QNX!! 'Fastest micro-kernel, message passing, distributed processing OS for the Intel platform! You can imagine what task switches are for a good Pentium II, considering that the old version of QNX would task switch on a 20Mhz P-5 at OVER 20,000 a sec!
I don't know if I really want revolutionary... yet. I'll wait until it becomes a bit more, uh, mainstream. I would like to see a virtual machine (Bochs??) spread out over a distributed processing OS. It would be a single super machine and would benefit from out of the box apps on phenomenal hardware! --- jonathan@aracnet.net <A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich"><A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich</A">http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich</A</A>> "You've got to have a gimmick if your band sucks." -- Gary Giddens - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
