Slashdot Mirror
Looking At The Linux Kernel
A reader writes: "Some folks from The Boston Consulting Group with OSDN have been working on creating a visual representation of the Linux Kernel. It's been put online, complete with instructions with how to read it, and how to make sense of the information." There's also some new code checked into the Free Code Graphing Project, which enabled this to project to come together (look at CVS)
- let's see if we can get people to do it with things like *BSD, Apache and some of the other great projects out there. This is a continuation with the other work being done, like the OSS demographic work.
(Note: Slashdot is part of
OSDN.)
Karim Lakhani, progenitor in many ways of the project also commented: "The kernelmap shows beautifully the inherent modularity of the Linux
Kernel. We think modularity of the source code is one of the important
strategic advantages that the Linux Community has and we wanted to move
beyond a magnifying glass on the kernel map poster to make it browsable
and to let the community add new features. We hope that this can become
a tool for navigating the kernel and learning more about how it works.
Rusty Russel and Martin Pool did an incredible job creating the map and
transforming it into html."
Can I get that poster in .bmp format?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You so funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You so original! You make me laugh! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You funny man! I like you jokes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow... my sides are hurting with that funny, funny quip you just threw down on us like some clever maniacal funny man! You so funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Someone will even probably mod you as funny to show how funny you really are to the rest of us! Quip, quip says you! Everyone! Over here! Look at the funny man! He made a funny about the visual representation of Windows! Get it? visual... representation... toddler.... artwork... Windows! HAHAHAHAHA! It's a reference to Windows... yes, how it's like 'toddler artwork'... HAHAHAHAHA! Yes, I am not sure where this guy is from but boy is he funny! Who invited him to the party? We gotta have this guy over more often! Honey? Come down here a second and listen to this guy 'tell it like it is' in a really funny way. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! "M$", that's priceless. "I see enough toddler artwork." Gold. Just pure gold. How do you do it? I mean, so many people post on Slashdot but then you see a funny gem like this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pure hilarity. When's the last time you actually used saw the insides of the Windows kernel and so wittily remarked about it? If you'd ever seen the Windows kernel in any way shape or form this wouldn't apply and hence your joke would 'have no teeth' as it were. But the brilliance of you tying in 'M$ Windows' with kernel maps and toddler artwork had me splitting my sides. And your Slashdot handle? Fascist Christ!? Jesus Christ!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You funny man. So clever, so very very clever. I'll bet you were the funny man in high school too. Wow. You still got it!
