Just a quick thought.

Has MACH been OK'ed as the choice for the GNU kernel???
I haven't heard anything further on this matter other than the GNUsletter
article saying that in "May 1990" the AT&T-free version of MACH would be ready
but concerns over world-wide distribution rights remain.  Some additional
enlightenment would be helpful if any knowledgeable GNUperson has the time
(not likely, I know, but as the old saying goes "If you want something done,
ask a busy person").

Also, has the Amoeba kernel being developed by the Dutch been considered?
I have seen an article about it in the May 1990 (?) issue of IEEE Computer.
Although I haven't had the time yet to read the article, I believe it has
significant network-wide multiprocessing capabilities.  A current version
runs in a "Unix mode" as well.

Thanks for any enlightenment you can shed.  Comments appreciated (even some
flames).
