Hi Adam,
I want to know why we build L4Linux here on L4? Is there any benefit comparing to pure Linux? It's not mandatory but it's an option, giving access to device drivers, one can run all sorts of Linux programs, you can have multiple of them etc. Adam
So do you think we can only run Linux programs in L4Linux but not directly on Microkernel or L4Re? How much effort should we take to port a common application to microkernel? Because i think if we can port APP directly on microkernel, it will get better performance than L4Linux!
Of course you can run applications directly on the microkernel. L4Re is short for "L4 Runtime Environment", meaning that it provides you with a set of interfaces to build applications on top of Fiasco.OC. These interfaces include a C/C++ standard library amongst others. Do you have a specific application in mind? Bjoern -- Dipl.-Inf.
