The issue is, the *only* comprehensive book on the design and the implementation of the FreeBSD kernel is published on Aug 2, 2004 covering then FreeBSD 5.2, and now nearly four years gone and the FreeBSD is evolved to 7.0/8.0. Since now it is understood the book does not represent accurately the latest development of the FreeBSD, what is now required is an addendum to the book either on online or otherwise. I would like to propose to the FreeBSD community to get such an addendum developed by Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick. What we need is a sponsor to cover the costs. The FreeBSD foundation raised over USD 400,000/- for year 2007. Possibly FreeBSD foundation could come to help or FreeBSD foundation could help to find another sponsor. Any other thoughts or ideas? Kind regards Unga PS: Very sorry for posting to multiple mailing lists, I even learned empirically following the post is not easy when posts to multiple mailing lists. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
