# Documentation

Why device drivers in user space; different possibilities for getting
device drivers; DDE's origins and rationale.

Structural overview of the components.
# Discussion
DDE essentially is a glue layer to embed Linux device drivers into another
environement. In the DDE case, this *other environment* is a user-space task
-- compared to the GNU Mach kernel having a *in-kernel* Linux 2.0 device
drivers glue code (cf. paper by Goel et al.).
