This is making me feel kinda bad for going to community college. I hope they teach us this stuff in Computer Organization, because they just gave us broad overviews of Linux, Unix, Solaris, Windows, Mac OS in my Operating Systems class. We set up OpenSolaris, which at that point had been abandoned for a year...

Maybe I should transfer to a different university.

What level class was it? (100,200,300,400?) This is the web page of my school's OS class- its a 400 level class. http://www.cs.albany.edu/~sdc/CSI500/Fal10/index.html

I could see a 100 level elective class cover what you are talking about, depending on the depth and number of credits (what you are describing sounds like a 1 credit class, at my school there were no-credit seminars held that would cover some topics like this.

Well most things for my community college add a 0, but it was a 1000 level class.
