The Kernel it self is just for contrlling the modules. Used by Amoeba, WinNT, Minix, ...<br /> <br /> Monolithic Kernel:<br /> Used by Linux because Torvalds said the micro kernel system is maybe good but the communication between the modules is too comlicated, so he decided that all system calls go to one kernel.<br /> Actually I'm not sure if still there is only one main kernel.<br /> <br /> Macro Kernel:<br /> never heard, maybe a mix of the above<br /> <br /> hope that helped<br /> ________________________________<br /> <span style="color: Red;">http://www.againsttcpa.com</span><br /> <span style="color: Blue;">Don't give big brother a chance!</span><br /> <br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/linuxsupport/162540/196624/re-difference-between-micro-and-macro-kernel/#196624 Sun, 22 Jun 2003 01:10:27 -0700 Linux Support
