- 4ad 15y agoYep, great successor to Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition. Another great book in the same style is Notes on the Plan 9 3rd edition Kernel Source, also free: http://lsub.org/who/nemo/9.pdf http://lsub.org/who/nemo/9.pdf Plan 9 might be obscure to most HN readers, but fundamentally these books teach concepts, and the code base is much more clear and understandable than mainstream kernels.
- muyuu 15y agoLooks really well written... man I have too much stuff stacked up in my to-read list.
- Sodel 15y agoHoly crackers, that document is one of the most exciting things I've encountered in a long time. I had no idea it existed! I wish it was featured more prominently in the Plan 9 community. The Plan 9 source is really a work of art. I cannot wait to sink my teeth into this commentary. Thank you so much for sharing!
- draven 15y agoWow! I'm currently playing with some plan9front VMs (the plan9 fork from the cat-v.org people) and his intro to plan9 looks fantastic: http://lsub.org/who/nemo/9.intro.pdf http://lsub.org/who/nemo/9.intro.pdf I had trouble finding information on Plan9, thank you so much for this link!
