| |
I made a small number of typo corrections and expanded the introduction chapter a small bit on the Linux VM docs on my site. The changes are small enough that if anyone has already printed it out, don't bother printing it again. They are still available from the usual places.
Main document PDF: http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/pdf/understand.pdf HTML: http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/html/understand/ Text: http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/text/understand.txt
Code commentary PDF: http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/pdf/code.pdf HTML: http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/html/code/ Text: http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/text/code.txt
On the where it's going front from here, I'm happy to say I've now writing a book which will be published under the Bruce Peren's Open Book Series (http://www.perens.com/Books/). Some stuff that I'm working on for it include;
o Better integration of the code commentary so it's easier to follow o Much better introduction sections and updating of the software tools o Shiny CD that comes with softcopy versions of the docs, browsable version of the tree and hopefully online call graph generation o Chapter on anonymous shared memory including the virtual filesystem o Assorted expansions and additions o And best of all, a fairly detailed introduction to 2.6. The 2.6 sections are at the end of each chapter and give a fairly detailed account (right now, it's totalling about 30 pages) of what is new in 2.6 and how it is implemented
If all goes well, it'll be available before the end of this year or in early 2004 :-)
