The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD OS

Posted by timothy on

n0dez writes "Peter H. Salus has written a review of The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System on UnixReview. "If you need to understand just how a kernel works, you need this book. McKusick and Neville-Neil have done the community a favor, and this book deserves to be a best seller." This book is an update to The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System by Marshall Kirk McKusick."

  1. Happy Birthday to Me!! by devphaeton · · Score: 3, Funny

    However, no amount of hinting got me this as a birthday present.

    However, my gf *did* get me a mess of other cool stuff- a new GeForce video card, a pile of video games for PC and PS2 (she's always telling me that i need to play more games....), some Lego...

    No worries though.. I'm sure to pick this up myself anyways.

      Something tells me your bluffing, like the "gf" & "play more games" in one sentence ;)

      However, if I had a pretend-girlfriend, i'd want her to buy me the book too.
