Z:gnu-www-ja-google-engineering-talk--94c6de-So I was looking for a way to/en

So I was looking for a way to bypass that work, and I found one eventually, a microkernel called Mach that had been developed as a funded project at Carnegie Mellon. Now, Mach doesn't have all the features of UNIX; the idea is, it provides certain general low-level features and you implement the rest in user programs. Well, that, I thought, would be easy to debug, because they're user programs; when they crash, the system isn't dead. So people began working on those user programs, which we called the GNU Hurd, because it's a herd of GNU servers (you see, gnus live in herds).
