Hi Daniel,
thanks for tuning in! Good to know how we caught your attention in the first place.
I'd support Lonie's comments about the importance of a live CD. Of course we picked up Genode and did the whole build, but the first exploration we did was the live CD. I know of people in other companies who abandoned Genode because of the apparent difficulty of use.
Could you get a bit more specific about which aspects of Genode appeared difficult to the people you cite? Was it the architecture, the build system, the (lacking?) quality of the documentation, the use of a specific kernel, or something else?
Cheers Norman
