The Interactive Linux Kernel Map

Posted by timothy on from the visualization-to-the-nth-degree dept.

Constantine writes "The Linux kernel is one of most complex open source projects. Even though there are a lot of books on the Linux kernel, it is still a difficult subject to comprehend. The interactive Linux kernel map gives you a top-down view of the kernel. You can see the most important layers, functionalities, modules, functions, and calls. Each function on the map is a link to its source code. The map is interactive. You can zoom in and drag around to see details."

    The overall user experience sucks at best. Go ahead and flame me.

    Allright I will. I'm surprised you people still exist and even more surprised you still dare posting such nonsense on /. .
    The user experience of the desktop-geared distributions matches OS X and even transcends it a lot of times.

    And saying it's hard to install makes no sense. OS X is preinstalled and can only be installed on a very, very limited number of computers. You can't just compare them. OS X is not 'better' at installing, it's just out of category. And Linux still does a lot better than Windows in terms of hardware compatibility.
