... and to catch up with bsc
So I've been away for a few days, sampling fine Belgian beer and catching up with old friends, and it being a Sunday evening it was decided that further indulgence was unnecesserary (well the folks I'm staying with are working in a few hours time and now asleep, I'm flying home tomorrow) so I took some time to look at what had been coming up on bsc.
First up, Eric Schrock has an excellent intro to kernel debugging with kmdb. Seeing as most folks rarely get passed ::cpuinfo and $c this is a wonderful example of how powerful mdb is.
The latest release of Solaris Express is all over the blogs, as usual Alan Coopersmith and Alan Hargreaves have the best write ups. dtrace -c is available here, and its amazingly usefull. Seriously go download and play with this release. Its free, and its available on x86.
Eric Boutilier has a post about a new, unaffiliated with Sun, user site mysolaris.org. This looks interesting, and very promising.
Tim Foster has the final part of his series on how to write a TM system (admitably before I went on holidays, but I missed it along the way). If you don't know anything about automatic translation (or think its just a matter of doing a few greps and sed's) read this. And even if you do, read anyway ;).
