hi,
i put some gifs describing linux. they're in uml.
linux doesn't have class, so i tried to capture every
struct (struct is kinda class in c++) related to task_struct.
why? it's a school project. but it turned out to be a help to
understand the kernel. maybe the kernel could use more object
oriented design, like the inode?
anyway, i need some pointers and comments.

Well, http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ is a good starting point for
information, but we are always open for better/more information. Just
drop by on the #kernelnewbies IRC channel.

hah, i forgot the url.
it's at http://www.trustix.co.id/~imel96/linux/
#kernelnewbies have not much help, or they all live in
different time zone.
i just wanna know how people look at the kernel at design
level. is it describeable in uml, etc.

Nice. Can we copy them on http://www.kernelnewbies.org? They might be useful
for others as well.

I think you're wrong on that. Having different timezones means that
there are kernel hackers all around the clock on #kernelnewbies.

Then the best way is to talk to people. You might as well do that on
IRC :)

sure, the gifs. i have to clean up the argouml files,
there're some duplicate classes. i added tty_struct.
if only i had the original c++ preprocessor. it'll
be interesting to c++ code which compiles with
a c compiler.
