> I took 828 and really enjoyed it. It was one of the best classes I took at MIT. The other OS for that class is JOS, which is the one you build through the lab

  that the course was really enjoyable. why is that not nice to know? edit: here's an analogy - say the article was about a famous restaurant, and someone chimed in to say "i ate there when i was visiting hong kong, and it was one of the best meals i've ever had". now we already know that it's a good restaurant; that's what the article was all about after all. nevertheless, i like that sort of comment; it adds a human touch to the story because (rightly or wrongly) i perceive a fellow commenter as less remote than a newspaper food writer, and therefore their opinion has a certain anecdotal quality to it that the article lacks.

  I didn't get that from his comment at all--silly.

  I spotted a few things. 1. Class 828 was a really good class, best he took. Others might want to try it too! 2. There's another operating system that's used in the class called JOS you might like to check out also if you are into learning about operating systems. 2. b) JOS is similarly quite simple to understand and doesn't take that long to build. Try it out also. Hope this is helpful!
