Understanding Mac OS X Kernel

Posted by timothy on from the deep-in-the-heart-of-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kernelthread.com has published a flash presentation overview of the Mac OS X kernel. Its title is 'A Tour of the Mac OS X Kernel' and it also covers Tiger features. Maybe interesting to note is that the slides are from a talk given to the NSA. Well, there is a nice security architecture diagram towards the end of the presentation."

  1. So, HFS+ can be case-sensitive... by rthille · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How the hell do I turn that on. Case preserving sucks ass when interacting with case-sensitive system...
    Use FTP to mount a remote webserver. Attempt to copy all the files to a local directory for modification. Finder complains 'some files differ in case and only one will be copied. Continue?" Would it be that fucking hard to list the files that conflict and give me the option to rename them? Jeeze.
