You DO realise however that Tanenbaum only implemented a very simple
and linear scheduling algorithm for Minix, right? :)
Shock - you mean the OS he wrote to teach people about OS
development? Wouldn't be much of a teacher if he came up with stuff
people were supposed to tinker with and possibly even improve.
He did however cite Waldspurger's paper. And while I ended up finding
it again independently, if I read the damn bib references I'd save
myself quite some time, too.
The difference is that Ingo Molnár is a *key* Linux developer for
quite some time and he's a RedHat employee; I'm just unemployed Joe
Nobody finishing college!
But that is very much the point: the less time you have the more
important it is to think before you leap.
I don't go with the exponential increase in the number of monkeys and
keyboards and hive mind arguments in favour of Linux and since we
only have a limited supply of monkeys we can't anyway! But have a
banana! ;-) Fabian Pascal might add that paid programmers aren't
necessarily good programmers; actually he'd go a lot further. I can't
really comment on systems programming but up here in web world the
lunatics really have taken over the asylum.
BSD's is always worth looking at because you don't have to go into
licence decontamination afterwards and you normally get a good
explanation about why things are done the way the are: SMP & driver
model implementation spring to mind. But OpenSolaris also has some
very good stuff in it.
