I'd just like any thoughts you guys might have of how my OS's design is coming along. I've been working on my design doc in my projects wiki at http://leviathanv.googlecode.com.

Hi,

I only had a quick skim over it, but it looks good for an initial design. I'd be interested to see how it goes in implementation and testing.

I think your "Signals" idea for communication is an interesting concept. Out of interest, if I wanted to send a buffer that's, say, 256 bytes long - how would I do that in this design?

Some implementation examples might help make the design a bit clearer.

Really though, that's just some nitpicking - the true test of the design will be when you complete it and begin to implement it.

I haven't written down how messages work yet, but basically you can send dynamic sized structures between processes. Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to add some examples.
