Well, that's the thing. There are a few things about microkernels that haven't been really fixed yet. They're usually a bit slower and a bit harder to debug. That said, I still think microkernels are going to increase in popularity over the next few years. With organisations such as NICTA doing work...

Is this getting upgraded Mono packages or newly installed Mono packages? If it's an upgrade, you might want to try using apt-get --reinstall install libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil to see if there's some file that was accidentally deleted. I've searched bugs.debian.org on libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil and cou...

But if any part of a monolithic kernel, e.g. network driver, process scheduler, etc. has a flaw, suddenly an attacker can gain access to the entire kernel. There's no protection against writing into another driver's space, there's nothing stopping raw hardware access to any component. In a microkern...

edbarx: microkernels are MORE secure, because crashing one driver won't crash the whole system - that's a security issue too. Exploiting a buffer overrun in one driver can't affect any other driver or program, making holes less useful. Lavene: that's the problem... but progress is being made there w...

In a microkernel, the kernel itself only does the very lowest level of management, and doesn't actually provide anything, except the mechanism for something else to provide things. Kernels run in kernel mode, where they have pretty much absolute control over everything. Therefore, if there's a secur...

My machine definitely takes at least two to three minutes to boot, although that's probably because it's four or five years old and I haven't tried to optimise anything :P I know Phoenix Technologies has some web browser software which is intended for emergency support purposes. I think it runs off ...
