I assume you're referring to page 21 of McKusik et al's Design and implementation of the 4.4BSD operating system. Yes FreeBSD provides those basic services also (processes, a filesystem, communications, and system startup for those not in posession of the book) > If not, how can i know more about de design of > FreeBSD? best start is reading the documentation at www.freebsd.org especially including the handbook at www.freebsd.org/handbook, the developers handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html another good thing would be to install FreeBSD and study the source Also Kirk has intensive classes on FreeBSD if you have the cash: http://www.mckusick.com/courses/index.html Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
