+ <body>
+ <p>Fiasco.OC belongs to the L4 microkernel family. A microkernel
+ provides a bare minimum of services to the applications
+ running on top of it, unlike traditional kernels that
+ incorporate a complex code like IP stacks and device drivers.
+ This allows to dramatically decrease the amount of code
+ running in the privileged mode of the CPU, achieving higher
+ security while still providing an acceptable level of
+ performance.</p>
+
+ <p>Running an operating system kernel on top of the microkernel
+ allows to leverage any software that was developed for that
+ operating system. The OS kernel runs in user-mode side-by-side
+ with other microkernel applications such as real-time
+ components. Multiple OSes, each with their userland
+ applications, may be even run in parallel, thus allowing to
+ build the products where processing of corporate data is
+ strictly separated from the processing of private data.</p>
+
+ <p>The project aims to create a port of &os; to Fiasco.OC
+ microkernel, which is a high performance L4 microkernel
+ developed by TU Dresden. The existing ports of OpenBSD and
+ Linux are used as a reference. This will allow to use the
+ unique &os; features like ZFS in L4-based projects.</p>
