Hi,
I am curious about some aspects of the fbsd kernel: what is the release
of CMU´s Mach used? Can Mach 4 be used? What are the advantages of
upgrading it in relation to the 4.4 BSD Lite?
An even more ignorant question: What is a Microkernel?

Thanks for not having anything else to do but answering esoteric
questions :). (Do this type of questions go into the chat list ?)
