Lines: 14 Xref: watmath net.cse:422 net.unix:5232 net.unix-wizards:14166 net.usenix:491 i had the same feelings about the "advanced 4.2bsd internals" tutorial (or whatever it was called) that i attended at the salt lake city usenix. i felt that it was for the most part a waste of my time and my school's money. everything that was covered was already covered by one or more of the documents in volume 2c of the 4bsd upm. equally annoying was that an appreciable amount of time was wasted during the class because there were contests by the various nerds in the class trying to prove how they were more knowledgeable and wizardly than the instructor and everyone else. -- rusty c. wright {ucbvax,ihnp4,akgua,hplabs,sdcsvax}!sdcarl!rusty
