i'm wondering if there is already a comprehensive study being done about linux in our universities here in the Philippines. i am currently taking up an Operating Systems course in UPLB, and it seems that the concepts being discussed (process management, virtual memory, file systems, etc) could most easily be appreciated if code was available or was studied as to the performance aspects of certain algorithms being used today.
given that, is there an effort in the academe to take advantage of the openness and the being available of the linux kernel source in relation to the study of operating system concepts? it seems that the resouce available at our disposal is being overlooked as one of the better teaching and learning tools for computer science students... are any of the dear professors in the list (currently or previously teaching operating system concepts) utilizing linux as a tool for learning or at least using it as an example for some of the concepts being studied in OSes? -- -=[mikhail]=- _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
