      I can't stand this anymore.  All you guys claim AEGIS is far superior
      to any UNIX implementation, but fail to state explicitly as to what
      makes it superior.

      Stating popularity as reasons for superiority is like comparing
      IBMs with non-IBMs.  Just 5 years back, anybody mouthing UNIX would
      have been frowned upon.  Based on technical merits alone, what is
      it that makes AEGIS superior/inferior?

      I am no UNIX guru and so would like to know what's wrong in using
      /dev/kmem(Perhaps if I am a guru,I would be die-hard fan of /dev/kmem:-)).

      How would AEGIS compare with MACH?

P.S:  Could anybody mail me pointers to papers/articles on the
      implementation of AEGIS
