It's interesting from a historical perspective, but the information about how the system is seen from the kernels point of view isn't really important for a new user. Or, for that matter, for your average system admin (IMHO -- people can shout at me and tell me I'm completely wrong about that bit). We could bring it in as an article, and link to it. I also think it might make a good appendix to the proposed Developer Handbook. Thoughts? N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free. USENET transmission, hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thinking before posting, priceless. Somethings in life you can't buy.
