>From LWN:
"""
Embedded.com has the first in a series of six articles about running
Linux on MIPS-based systems. This installment provides definitions of
Linux terms as a basis for the rest of the series. "To get to grips with
any artifact you need to attach some good working meaning to the terms
used by its experts, and you are particularly likely to be confused by
terms you already know, but with not quite the same meaning. The
UNIX/Linux heritage is long enough that there are lots of magic words:
thread, file, user mode and system calls: interrupt context, Interrupt
service routine (ISR), scheduler, memory map/address space, thread
group, high memory, libraries and applications. "
