*Viengoos* is a research kernel, designed and written by Neal Walfield.
As of late 2009, the project is on hold, due to time constraints.
Viengoos is not really meant to be a successor to [[Mach]]. It is highly
experimental; some of the techniques it employs, in particular, those related
to [[memory_management]] and [[IPC]], are unproven. These were motivated by
[[shortcomings_in_Mach|hurd/critique]] as well as current operating systems. A
research system is unlikely the best base for a product. A better approach is
to view Viengoos as an experimental platform whose goal is to explore solutions
to some of the [[issues_uncovered_by_the_Hurd|challenges]]. Knowledge gained
can then be integrated into something like [[Mach]].
The source can be downloaded from the *viengoos.git* repository, cf.
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=hurd/viengoos.git>. You can
check it out using, for example:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/viengoos.git
Then update to viengoos-on-bare-metal
cd viengoos
git checkout -b viengoos-on-bare-metal origin/viengoos-on-bare-metal
viengoos-on-bare-metal is the current development focus.
Discussion should be held on the [[mailing lists/l4-hurd]] mailing list.
