Hi,
some time ago I found the following video lectures from Mr. McKusick for sale. I saw a free video (1st lesson) at youtube and it looks very interesting.
FreeBSD Kernel Internals: Data Structures and Algorithms
FreeBSD Kernel Internals: An Intensive Code Walkthrough
Unfortunately it's very expensive for me, but I really think about buying these videos. Is anybody here who took the videos and can tell me his experiences? I know that there are also a couple of books out there covering these topics, so I'm asking myself if I should go the (boring) way and hang over the books (only) all the time or if I get more from the videos (especially from didactic point of view). My intention is to become familiar with the FreeBSD kernel from a developers perspective and I like to develop some stuff I'm currently missing (anytime in the future), but up to now I don't find a good starting point.
cheers,
honk
