And i know it needs long time to uncover the secret of an operating system, and this is my long term aim. So i do not know what can i do in this long period of time, i mean i must do some projects with deadline, and i know i must make a deadline by myself, or i will be buried by the details, never out. And i think the scheduler and interrupt handler are two of the basic things i must know if i indeed want to hack the operating system. -by
