Yes, I got a similar result. Most of the question I have forgotten about.
But one curious thing, I am surprised they did not have questions like "Ever change and compile a kernel ?".
- ThrowawayR2 2y agoThe test is from '89. Linux 0.01 was two years in the future.
- dfox 2y agoLoadable device drivers are somewhat modern invention. On many systems adding a device driver involved recompiling (or at least relinking) the kernel.
- sgt 2y agoFast forward many years to 2024, and we're using things like System Extensions on a modern Unix (macOS). Drivers and low level code running in user space rather than in kernel space, but with the code being granted privilege that allows certain things previously done by kernel extensions. Interesting how times change!
