Mach386, as you might have guessed, is Mach for the 386. Specifically, it's the Mach 2.5 microkernel with the BSD UNIX server on top. Unfortunately, to even get a copy of Mach386 to play with, your university needs a copy of the BSD/AT&T source code license. I was attempting to get a site license for the University of Delaware for Mach386 ... until, that is, I discovered Linux. ;) I think the attempt to get Mach is still tied up in red tape, actually. -- Todd Radel | "I obscenity in the milk of all," Agustin said, CIS/English undergrad | "if it does not seem like a lunatic asylum in University of Delaware | here." -- Hemingway, _For Whom the Bell Tolls_ A.I. duPont Institute, 1600 Rockland Road, Wilmington, DE 19899
