Hello.
I'm trying to learn more about the kernel, but when I'm reading
articles it has terms that are unfamiliar by me. E.g:
page tables
physical pages of memory
virtual pages
pages
etc..
These terms are hard to understand for a newbie like me, is there
some page where I might get clear information about what they do?
Could someone provide me explanation? Maybe it would be a good idea
to do basic term explanations in wiki?
Joe

reading a book about some moderm processor (x86 for example)
will clear your confusion
