Course Introduction:
	Syllabus and Calendar
	General description of projects
	Kernel Programming
		Why Linux?
		NetBSD and W2K
		Linux has worked out ok in the past
	Isoptera (is not useful for kernel modules)

Role of the OS kernel:
	Kernel control and protected mode
	Storage (filesystems)
		- Multiple of these
		- FAT still common, but many have advantages
	Memory (virtual memory)
		- Protection of video memory, etc
	I/O and device drivers
		- Hardware independent programming
		- Lots of hardware is really the same
	Processes and scheduling
		- Multithreading
		- Time sharing and responsiveness
	Disk Operating System (was it?)
		- Protection of resources
		- Termination of stuck process
	Networking
		- OS Manages network access
	Security
	Loaders
	Security
	
Userspace:
	We won't spend a lot of time on userspace (that's cs253)
		It'll come up though
	UI, etc.
	/proc "filesystem"
	/dev
	/sys
	System calls

What's it written in?
	Kernel C
	Example:  read
	Example of function pointer struct:  file_operations

How do we do homework 1?
	I'll find some examples
	
So we have to learn kernel C!  It will be fun.
	It's fun because you can use memory in C
	Video Games and OHSA (Occupational Health and Safety Administration)
	C memory management...

Project 1:
	Might be gcc specific
		The Linux kernel is
	Feel free to start anytime
