Yes, thank-you for these articles about OSs. By the way, did you se that the 1000-th edition of Distro-Watch featured that MX-Linux was their favorite distro ?
As a remark, you didn't talk in details in this article about the Haiku kernel : is it monolithic, did they re-write the BeOS kernel (how ????), what's the difference from the Linux or FreeBSD or Minix kernel ...
And while we're at it : did you ever try Minix ? I'd be very interested to read a real-world test about it.
