    <p><strong>My list</strong>:</p> <ol> <li>What an operating system's concerns are: <strong>Abstraction and extension of the physical machine</strong> and <strong>resource management</strong>.</li> <li>How the <strong>build process works</strong> ie, how architecture specific/machine code stuff is implanted</li> <li>How <strong>system calls</strong> work and how modules can link up</li> <li><strong>Memory management</strong> / Virtual Memory / Paging and all the rest</li> <li>How processes are born, live and die in POSIX and other systems</li> <li><strong>userspace vs kernel threads</strong> and what the difference is between process/threads</li> <li>Why the <strong>monolithic Kernel design is growing tiresome</strong> and what are the alternatives</li> <li>Scheduling (and some of the alternative / domain specific schedulers)</li> <li><strong>I/O</strong>, <strong>Driver development</strong> and how they are dynamically loaded</li> <li>The <strong>early stages of booting</strong> and what the kernel does to setup the environment</li> <li>Problems with clocks, mmu-less systems etc</li> <li>... I could go on ...</li> <li>I almost forgot <strong>IPC and Unix 'eveything is a file' design decisions</strong></li> <li>POSIX, why it exists, why it shouldn't</li> </ol> <p>In the end just get them to go through <strong>tanenbaum's modern operating systems</strong> and also do case studies on some other kernels like Mach/Hurd's microkernel setup and maybe some distributed and exokernel stuff.</p> <p><strong>Give a broad view past Linux too, I recon</strong></p> <p><strong>For those who are super geeky</strong>, the history of operating systems and why they are the way they are.</p>

    1. CO@Sweeny, MOS 3e is a great resource. The HURD stuff I would recommend as simpler source to look at for demonstrations. Or even MINIX.

    2. CO@Aiden Bell The choice of OS is out of my hands. I understand your reasoning for suggesting to use a simpler source. The Linux source can be daunting at first, but thats what I am there for. I also want to encourage my students to continue with Linux development in the future in hopes that they will go on to fix bugs and give back to the community.

    3. CO@Sweeney - I understand :) On a personal note, I think more people should get behind HURD -- I'm currently familiarizing myself with it to get involved.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
