Operating Systems Notes Part 1 – Processes, Signals and Threads

As some of you might know, I’m currently studying for my B.Sc. in Computer Science. One of the courses I’ve taken this semester is Operating Systems, which talks about the principles OS’s are built on. Since this is a theoretical class and the material is actually kinda cool (and the fact that I have a test this Thursday), I thought I’d share (that is – brain-dump) and in the process study for the upcoming test.
