Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernels
Date: Monday, October 17, 2005 @ 05:32:07 AST
Topic: reviews

The three subsystems examined are scheduling, memory management, and file system architecture. I chose these subsystems because they are common to any operating system (not just Unix and Unix-like systems), and they tend to be the most well-understood components of the operating system.

This article does not go into in-depth details on any of the subsystems described. For that, refer to the source code, various websites, and books on the subject. For specific books, see:

Solaris Internals: Core Kernel Architecture by McDougall and Mauro (visit Solaris Internals)
The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System by McKusick and Neville-Neil (visit The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System)
Linux Kernel Development by Love (visit Linux Kernel Development, 2nd Edition) and Understanding the Linux Kernel by Bovet and Cesati (visit Understanding the Linux Kernel, 2nd Edition)
