Let's focus on Mono/.NET, forget about Java. My question is: How can I run multiple (tens/hundreds) Mono/.NET applications using as little Mono VM resources as possible while still having regular Linux process isolution? Suppose, for example, that in a couple of years time, the majority of GNOME desktop applications will be written in C# and run using Mono. If I run each of these in a separate Mono VM then I'm wasting resources as each process has its own garbage collected heap. Alternatively, I could run them as separate Mono application domains in a single Mono VM, but then I don't have real Linux process isolation. So, what I'm wondering is, how can I run multiple Linux processes sharing a single garbage collected heap. Does such a shared garbage collected heap need to be provided by the kernel or is there a solution in userland? Robin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
