I've been seriously thinking of starting a podcast that layer by layer removes the "magic" behind Linux/Unix and even other OSs, even down to explaining how processors/computers in general work. I'm wondering if people like you have any interest in such a beast.
I have an episode ideas doc [1] for it that is several pages long. I need to flesh out an episode and shoot a test. After that, I need to figure out subject order.

I'm a huge fan of the format, but most podcasts I've listened to, even technology ones, have been very fluffy.
- agumonkey 12y agoGonna throw it just in case, I'm very fond of Massalin's thesis http://valerieaurora.org/synthesis/SynthesisOS/ http://valerieaurora.org/synthesis/SynthesisOS/ A jitted, partially evaluation capable kernel. The thesis is very readable, proof: I could enjoy almost all of it and I'm a monkey. It might give some insights about kernel design that may not be told in mainstream ones. ps: mandatory wikiwiki page http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SynthesisOs http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SynthesisOs
