New YouTube Video Explains FreeBSD Kernel Internals
Thursday, January 29, 2009 14:37Posted in category News
The BSDConferences YouTube channel has just released a new video which gives a basic insight into how kernel internals work on FreeBSD, and most other unix and linux variants. The video is about an hour in length and features the author of The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, Marshall Kirk McKusick.
Although not very heavy on details the video gives a good history of how some of the internals of unix were born out of older concepts on early 60’s and 70’s operating systems. Definitely worth checking out.
