A batch of BSD news today. Firstly, here are a few impressions on DesktopBSD 1.0 RC3. "DesktopBSD is a breeze to install. Desktop uses a crisp and clean KDE desktop with an attractive theme with a standard selection of applications." Secondly, DragonFly BSD asks its users to test some drivers for wireless networking. And lastly, also concerning DragonFly BSD: "Recently spent some time getting the Mach lite kernel up and running for research on the idea can the system be made to run in production."

Speed was one of the things that sucked and some people said it was inherent to Microkernels but regardles Mach is probably a good kernel for research and that is all this is.
It says the first experiments worked but were slow, they incorporated some changes and it then sped up 3 fold.
The speed problems in Microkernels are not inherent, they seem to be related to using a synchronous API with them (like any *nix).
