Funny bit is, back in the 90's when Apple bough NeXT, they trashed the NeXT version of MACH and used the one that was in... mklinux instead!
I bet very few people remember that bit. I remember because I had written the framebuffer console driver for mklinux back then, and seeing my init message when booting the earlier version of OSX (<=10.1 ish, perhaps a bit later too)
So I had the privilege of printing kernel crash logs and panics on zillions of devices! I'm so proud! :-)
- disordinary 10y agoIt's classed as a hybrid though, not a pure microkernel. There's significant amounts of BSD in there. Also, thanks for the anecdote :)
