Hello all, I am reading a book called "Screts and Lies" by Bruce Shenier from CounterPane. He says that the kernel of an operating system should be as simple as possible, but that nowadays system designers tend to push everything they can into the kernel area. ( I have read this from other authors also ... ) Is this true with the FreeBSD project? If it is, how come you have to set up a sound board or a NIC by recompiling the kernel? Isn't this stuff suposed to be left outside? thanx, phelip __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
