L4 Linux Distro

There exists a port of the Linux 2.6.12 kernel to run under the L4 microkernel architecture, known as L4Linux. Apparently, according to the web site (http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/LinuxOnL4/) this would appear to be fully functional and binary compatible with the standard Linux kernel.

I was wondering if there is already a distribution based on this kernel, or if anyone plans to make one? If someone knows of anything in this area I would be most pleased if they could let me know.

I tried posting to Linux help anonymously, and after writing my post and clicking submit, I got: "Access denied / You are not authorized to access this page." Then, I created an account, and the same thing happened.

I don't see my topic in the forum.

I think probably KernelTrap needs an Open Solaris forum now. For lack of a better option I have put in this article in the "Kerneltrap General" forum.

I'm working for the Software Revolution, and we just finished an automated documentation of the LINUX kernel and its various components (memory-management, IPC, security, etc.) Anyways, the documentation consists of hyperlinked scalable graphics for control flow graphs, structure charts, state machines, action diagrams, data element tables, call charts... the list goes on... The documentation is posted at www.softwarerevolution.com/jeneral/open-source-docs.html.

corehackers.com ad on kerneltrap.org

Good day,

I clicked on the ad banner that, intriquingly, had COREHACKERS word in it.

Here is what I see on front page:

"Three young hackers under investigation for unlawfully accessing personal information on thousands of people..."

It is somewhat strange to see nice articles like one about OpenBSD hackathone and at the same time see such ads. Should we expect "Get the facts" soon?

Hi, for some weeks now i can't post comments. I can write a comment to a topic or other comment and hit [Preview] to preview and correct it, this part works as expected. But when i hit [Post comment], the original content appears, without my comment. No reloading, reposting, etc. helps.

The https://www.kerneltrap.org is not working. The error I get is

"The connection with the server was terminated unexpectedly"

I suppose it is probably one of the issues because of the shift in the hosting.

Mailing List archives do not escape < and >

It appears that the mailing list archives do not replace the < and > with their HTML equivalents.

So, when the sequence like this :

<something_here>

appears, it treats it as some HTML tag and not understanding it, gulps it out.
