Re: Linux as OS course.
I know this is a Linux mailing list, and the debate of that professor was
choosing between Linux and NT, but why not teach Solaris?
Solaris for x86 is free nowadays, and, talking about the academic Solaris
suite, the paper weight of the documentation about its internal structures
and operations is roughly the equivalent of a massive oak tree, plus
there are plenty of ready-made OS structure course slides to steal out
there (such as
http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/Courses/Operating-Systems-Structure/).
