  1. For those interested, you may want to read the paper titled “The UNIX Time Sharing System” by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Tompson from 37 years ago, and see where many concepts you learnt in CS2106 originated.

    It is widely available on the web. One among many places is:

    It is a succinct, well-written piece of work and is a highly recommended reading.
