Hi, I have a pedagogical question.

If you (a developer) were teaching a first level college course in
operating systems with the goal of (eventually) transforming each  
student
into a *BSD developer, then how would you teach the course?
Specifically, what programming assignments would you have?  What  
material
would you cover?
I thought the point of college was to prepare students for
PAYING jobs?
Hello everyone, and excuse the noise.

Excuse me AOL user,

People do use BSD for production purposes. I've even written portable  
software and told the customer to use BSD and they did. It doesn't have to  
be rewriting the OS for a job. It could be for other programming purposes  
than accessing low level functions. I advise you to stop assuming every  
possible path. No offense, but you are seeming quite offensive. I've not  
even read through all the past emails you have sent. Please rethink the  
way you send email, and don't judge the success of OS design tatics by how  
you have turned out. Many people have success in some fields more than  
others. Have a nice day.
