Hai ,
Can you suggest me some url which discuss all these things .
Actually i didn't get the point . You say kernel is not preemptive but it
can yield to other process when it is waiting for some resources . Well
then why it is not made preemptive . Is SMP used to multiprocessor machine
. Do it have anything to do with preemtion .
regards
aneesh
