I like the concept of Nanokernels, because you could really much customize your OS from it. What is your favorite type of kernel?
We can not let a font-thread take the position as most geeky one!

From WP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computer_science)
In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems (OSs). Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources and the communication between hardware and software components. As a basic component of an operating system, a kernel provides the lowest level of abstraction layer for the resources (especially memory, processors and I/O devices) that applications must control to perform their function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.

Because school teaches IMHO too many irrelevant things and too less relevant ones, Okie!
I think it's bad enough that I know what a kernel is, but at least I don't have a favourite type.

From reading a little on Wikipedia, I'll say that I like the idea of an Exokernel.
Beware, this most definitely isn't an informed opinion, and you shouldn't base any research on it.

In a jokey nerdy way.

Explain! is it related to Andrew Tanenbaum's
Myrth is my favorite type of kernel. Then, the nanokernel.
