Joining the Microkernel Revolution

So, yeah. I'm using an OS powered by a microkernel now. The only downside is that it's a virtual machine. A virtual PowerPC machine, which is always going to be slow. The virtual machine in question here is PearPC.

Yeah, Stephen; I'm emulating a Mac.

Specifically, Mac OS X 10.4, but I'm soon going to upgrade to 10.4.11. I refuse to upgrade to 10.5, because that's when Steve went crazy. -er.

So... yeah. I'm blogging from it. It was hellishly difficult to set it up, but I did it with my ultra-super powers. And yes - it is as awesome as they say it is.
