-# Concepts
-
-A [[microkernel]] implements a minimal number of abstractions
-that facilitate the realization of operating system services.
-
-[[MachConcepts]] are documented here.
-
-Read OSF's Kernel Principles. Find it under the
-[[documentation]] link.
-
-# Exercises
-
-Mach's API is documented in OSF's Kernel API book. Find it
-under the [[documentation]] link. Skim it to get an idea
-of how the API looks and then try the following exercises:
-
-Send messages using Mach's IPC mechanism
-([detailed description](http://walfield.org/pub/people/neal/papers/hurd-misc/mach-ipc-without-mig.txt)).
-
-Implement your own pager. Write a server that synthesizes
-content on the fly and have a client map the object into its
-address space and print out the file.
