Re: New AmigaOS???

May I lay one suggestion and one question:

- I never liked the way Linux launchs tasks/processes: creating a copy of the actual one and replacing it after. It takes some processing time and it does not seems so useful to me.
  Is it possible to have beside the POSIX functions (for compatibility), Amiga style functions? Having the code somewhere in RAM and pointing out as a new task seems more straightforward than make a copy of the actual one  :-)

- Could hardware drivers run outside kernel space? Let's suppose, you could run the kernel in ring 0 and drivers in ring 1 or 2. The idea is to get rid of blue screens and lock ups caused by stuff running at the same level of the kernel.
  Would this impact in using available hardware drivers?
