Wilkinson" Subject: using FreeBSD in a course this fall Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm teaching a course in networking this fall and have decided to use TCP/IP Illustrated as the text. I have a lab room with some old Dells in it and plan to put FreeBSD on them and use them as a major part of the course. I've already done a little bit of comparison between the kernel sources and what's in Volume 2 of the book, and there are significant differences. In fact, I never found what I was looking for. What I'm getting around to is saying that I'm probably going to want to lean on you guys from time to time this fall. Would that be OK is I try to keep it to a minimum? I'd certainly appreciate it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Wilkinson | Perfesser of Computer Science jimmy@cs.CofC.edu | The College of Charleston (843) 953-8160 | Charleston SC 29424 If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be "profectionist".
