History of the project
----------------------

This project was initially started to port Linux to a single
server / microkernel implementation using Mach 3.0 as the microkernel.

After a few months, the initial goal was splited into three different
related directions:

	- a linux sigle server
	- an ad hoc linux multiserver
	- add linux compatibility on the Hurd

Right now, the only direction that has been explored is the latest
one. Anybody wanting to explore the other directions is welcome to
join the mailing list.

What's new
----------

* the ext2fs server is read-write

	An alpha >>>read-write<<< version of a Hurd compatible ext2fs server
is available at:

ftp://step.polymtl.ca/pub/proj/linuxss/servers/ext2fs-server.0.2.tar.gz

	This was developed by myself from the ufs server code of the
Hurd and the ext2fs code of Linux. (A perfect example of a good use of
GPLed code, I think.)

	This answers some of the subgoals of an ad hoc multiserver and
a Hurd with added linux compatibility.

Call for volunteers
-------------------

If you think you can help, if you have brand new ideas, if you want to
boldly go where no Linuxer has gone before (ok, where _almost_ no
Linuxer has gone before...), well... contact me. BTW, I usually do not
eat people...
