Linux After several months of work, research, and a massive platform change, The Gnu-HALO Project (formerly BSD-HALO) has finally released a proof-of-concept alpha bootable ISO to the public. It is now based very closely on SLAX Linux for the time being, and there are plans to keep software binary compatability as the project matures.

FreeBSD/Mach ?

So now he's using linux on the L4 microkernel. What kernel was he using with what I'm assuming is the FreeBSD userland? The FreeBSD kernel is not exactly what one would call a microkernel (quite the contrary actually). Did he borrow a Mach kernel from another project (HURD, Darwin, etc.), write one from the specs (I doubt), or what?
