HPR3419: Linux Inlaws S01E38: Tiny kernels

This episode is dedicated to tiny kernels driving operating systems also
known as micro-kernels. While discussing the last 100 years of operating
system design and implementation, our two aging heroes also shed some
light on operating systems in general and their recent history (like fifty
years). Unless you're a true OS nerd, you find the episode mildly
refreshing and educational on the layers of software underneath your
beloved applications controlling the hardware and other shenanigans. If
you're an OS nerd, this episode may have the potential of closing your few
remaining knowledge gaps (or something like this). A fun show for
children of all ages and beyond.
