Yeah. And there is nothing good about it.

Bugs can be everywhere. But the smaller the paramount part the better.

You don't

I beg to differ, and I think a lot of people will disagree with you. Regardless, your snarky remark fails to state any problems with the Linux kernel, or identify what you consider a "good" kernel.
- ptr 13y agoHe's probably thinking about some kind of micro kernel (which are pretty cool), or redundant CPUs (which probably wouldn't help much)?
- _quasimodo 13y agoI think he meant there is nothing good about complexity and bringing down the whole system on a crash. For the Linux kernel this is probably an unfortunate necessity, for an init system it is not.
