We have similarities in that aspect alone :) In my opinion, before you put your student into coding practice, it would be good to get them familiar with the kernel mechanism first. The best way I can think of, is by using Qemu and its gdb stub. Load a Linux kernel that is compiled with debugging symbols and let them play with it (put breakpoints here and there, use watchpoint etc). >From there, gradually ask them to alter few things like what if each tasks gets doubled time slice than normal? how it affects interactivity and so on. They could also hack magic sysrq a bit and do additional thing like simply triggering hello world. Apologize if we have different view on how to teach OS, but hopefully you could grab the positive aspects here. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
