I've took a brief look on Unix presentation and was wondering, why author says that "...most Unix systems have not permitted shared memory because the PDP-11 hardware did not encourage it..."? Well, it wasn't so obvious deal with PDP-11 MMU, but why you have to tell to your students about it today and blame my favorite computer architecture which boost all kind of software developing even same Unix too? It's not fair. :-) everything else in presentation looks good for me...

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but I recently bought Operating System Concepts by Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne (published by Wiley) for my Computer Science course and the book has several appendices which are available for download from Wiley's web site. One of these appendices is all about FreeBSD and its internals. It's 48 pages long and is available from http://www.wiley.com/college/silberschatz6e/0471417432/pdf/bsd.pdf with the other appendices available on http://www.wiley.com/college/silberschatz6e/0471417432/student.html I don't really know enough detail about FreeBSD to know if what they've written is accurate or worthwhile but I thought if you guys could give it the quick once over, then it could be linked to from somewhere on the web site and perhaps in the Developer's Guide as well. Thanks. Andrew.
