'lonzo writes "Version 1.0 Fiasco, a GPL re-implementation of the L4 microkernel has recently been released. This microkernel is designed to be a flexible hardware abstraction layer rather than YetAnotherCloneOfUnix. Its 'mechanism not policy' design allows far more opportunities for *ghasp* innovation than any of the Unix clones. It also provides people with an alternative to the macrokernel design of Linux. Get your copy here. Linux has already been ported to this OS, get it here, and another port."
