Hello,

I discovered an article about the Linux scheduler and
oriented on the new stuff for the 2.6 tree. Here you
has the link:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-scheduler/?ca=dgr-lnxw07LinuxScheduler
Because probably is always useful to learn from
competitors (good or bad stuff, what to do or what to
NOT do), I put here this link for people with a bit
more of technical background can read and give
opinions of it.
This article explains a nearly non-so-technical
manner, even explains what a scheduler is, problems
from earlier Linux schedulers and the advantages of
the new Linux scheduler. It has technical stuff too,
but is more oriented to people that aren't OS
developers.
I seem to recall that the ULE scheduler of FreeBSD should be a version 
of the 2.6-scheduler, and from a quick look at the article this seems to 
be true (the use of one active and one expired run-queue).
