nature of the system, and the use of capabilities provides a unifying theme that holds the various pieces together. By making the kernel as small as possible, most of the key features are implemented as user processes, which means that the system can evolve gradually as needs change and we learn more about distributed computing. Amoeba has been operating satisfactorily for several years now, both locally and to a limited extent over a wide-area network. Its design is clean and its performance is excellent
