+ < antrik> Tekk_`: regarding microkernels: the basic idea, and really the
+ *only* fundamental difference, is that they isolate things in separate
+ address spaces. everything else goes back to this.
+ < antrik> benefits from the isolation generally fall into two groups: more
+ robustness (main focus of Minix3), and more flexibility (main focus of
+ Hurd)
+ < antrik> while it might also encourage some other good design choices,
+ these are secondary effects: such choices can also be implemented in a
+ monolithic architecture -- and not necessarily harder. just less obvious
+ in some cases...
