For a good demo cd of the potential of L4, take a look at http://demo.tudos.org/
Yeah that's the one that uses FreeBSD's ATA drivers in userspace processes to wipe your disk (if you boot it with --readonly removed). Dave

Out of curosity, what advantages does the L4 Microkernel provide over the current one?
I'm not sure about the practical value, but L4 can host darwin, linux, and other "personalities" simultaneously. Very cool. The web page indicates this is mainly a research project looking into large-scale microkernel architecture issues. In some ways L4 is looked at as the successor to Mach, at least in the research context. Whether any of this will be directly useful to darwin users (today) is kind of besides the point. Down the road, though, this kind of research will yield some very impressive and cool systems for the next generation of operating systems.

We've been working on porting Darwin (currently working with the 8.2 source base) to the L4 Microkernel for a while, and now we've just made a release. The complete source is available, as well as a QEMU boot image, and instructions for booting on real hardware. See http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/software/darbat/ for more details.
Any feedback or questions are welcome.
