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."

    I installed Mandrake 9.2 on an elderly womans machine and upgraded the KDE with a look and feel that looks just like osx. She was used to win98, so I put some shortcuts on the desktop in the exact way she had them before. The result? not a peep in 8 months, and she is using the machine more than ever. Classic quote: (she's 77..) "I don't know what you did, but everything seems to work better"
