Unix V6 Source code

Question

I am looking for Unix V6 kernel source code. Please tell me where from I get it.

I have pdf copy downloaded from http://v6.cuzuco.com/v6.pdf. Which is described in "Commentary on Unix Source- J. Lions".

Thank you.

Answer 1

This is an open course from MIT (http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012).

From this website you can get the source code of xv6 and many useful materials, including a detail document like "Commentary on Unix Source- J. Lions" to help you understand the code of xv6.

In my opinion xv6 is better than unix v6, because xv6 is written in ANSI C and AT&T assembly language, but unix v6 is designed to run on PDP machine.

I'm also learning OS by my self, and I'm looking xv6 and linux0.11 source code.

I hope these words may help you. ^_^
