The [[history]] page tells a more interesting story including other operating systems who use Mach in their kernels. GNU Mach 2.0 makes use of the drivers provided by [the OSKit](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/) from [the Flux Research Group](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/). The OSKit provided a neat driver base where both [[TWiki/FreeBSD]] and Linux (2.2.12) drivers are made available to [Mach](http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/www/mach.html) and thus the Hurd. However, OSKit isn't maintained anymore. ## <a name="Status"> Status </a> -The OSKit-Mach version of GNUmach is today (2005) more or less defunct. Nobody is working on it. Few people ever got it running, and by now there are also problems building with recent toolchains. Instead, the Hurd developers now concentrate on completely different microkernels (Coyotos being the current favourite), as well as on improving the original GNU Mach 1.x codebase.
