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. Last week's installs left a lot to be desired. We started with Fedora core 9 and and had all sorts of video and lock up problems. We abandoned it after three days of trying. The install disk wouldn't even run without a resolution parameter. We moved to Ubuntu. Much better but Gnome is 5 years behind OS/X (Forget about KDE 4). Sound still is an issue with Sound Blaster but at least we have something much more usable than Fedora. I wish the effort is spent on making installs a breeze. The desktop panels do not span multiple monitors and the default install still ships with many useless apps.

    We use Linux for all of our production JBOSS servers and it has been absolutely wonderful. One day (I hope) the user experience will be as good. Windows and Mac OS/X have nothing to fear on the desktop for now.

    Now, now, Mr. G. I realize that major life transitions can be stressful.
    In a left-handed sort of way, I can nearly empathize with you, seeing open communication and common sense whittle away at an iron grip on the market.
    Nearly.
    This homo-erotic outburst of yours is not a good sign. Smitty recommends a mellower approach for the remaining days of your vanity under the sun.
    How about getting a shiny new camcorder and trying to make the insane proprietary data format work?
    You probably won't succeed, but the effort may grant you some tiny notion of how much woe and misery you yourself have sewn amongst mankind.
    Charity is cool, but repentance is cooler.
