I am working on threads right now (and threads only) for work. It will be targeted to our own NetBSD version, but will be initially developed on FreeBSD. I AM making progress, and will be using some of JB's work. RE: SMP, the code just needs to be fixed in the areas that I suggest, and hold off until a more distributed and SMP based OS will be ready for use :-). If you think that my VM work was radical -- a "true" SMP kernel based upon the FreeBSD code would be very very radical. IMO, SMP requires a rework, and that is what I am doing in my spare time now. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
