Reading about the Tanenbaum-Torvalds debates:
- The
classic debates/flamefest (Read the first half of this
flamefest. Also, note the comment by Ken
Thompson, one of the two creators of Unix!)
- More from
Tanenbaum. Focus on the sections "Clearing up Some
Misconceptions" and "Microkernels Revisited". Especially
"Microkernels Revisisted".
- Linux
is bloated, per Linus Torvalds
