• DNS Service: DNS Service tackles one of the problems kORBit has: Name resolution inside kernel-space. gethostbyname() function is included by the standard C library, not supported by the kernel. DNS Service is both a solution to solve this problem and also a proof of concept of how kernel-programming restrictions may be saved using kORBit philosophy.

• XML File System: XML File system is an example application of file system driver programming usig kORBit. XML FS gets a XML file (any structure of information representable by XML) and translates (using XSL) into another XML schema which represent a file system structute (FILES and DIRECTORIES). This second XML structure is processed by a server in order to be mounted as a file system on the system directory tree. With XML FS the user can easily navigate through a XML structure using standard filesystem tools and editors:
