   * Conceptual understanding of sysfs, udev, hald, dbus
   * Terms: /sys, /proc, /dev, modprobe, lsmod, lspci, lsusb
-== Notes ==
-  * BIOS - Basic I/O System - systim init, memory testing, low-level system-config, OS boot order (CD, floppy, HD, PXE), internal HW clock
-  * /proc fs is kernel's status repository: interrupts, dma, ioports
-  * Universal Serial Bus (USB)
-    * //lsusb [-t] [-vv] // - t-tree view, vv-very verbose
-    * Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) - USB 1.1
-    * Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) - USB 1.1 - 12 MBps - low+full speed
-    * Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) - USB 2.0 - 480 MBps - high speed
-    * Extensible Host Controller Interface (XHCI) - USB 3.0 - 4 GBps - super speed
-    * Wireless Host Controller Interface (WHCI) - Wireless USB 1.0 - 480 MBps
-    * Effective speed is lowest speed of device, cable and hub
-    * Classes of USB devices :
-      * Human Interface Device (HID) - Input devices: mice, keyboards, etc.)
-      * Communications device - Modems
-      * Mass storage device - Disk devices, flash readers, etc.
-      * Audio - Sound devices
-      * IrDA - Infrared devices
-      * Printer - Printers and USB-to-parallel cables
-    * Linux kernel supported USB in v2.3.x, backported to 2.2.18
-    * Linux drivers may be host controller drivers (e.g. usb-ohci.o), class drivers (e.g. hid.o, usb-storage.o, printer.o, audio.o) or device-specific drivers
-    * usbcore.o -> host controller driver -> class/device driver
-    * Modularized USB drivers are loaded by the generic /sbin/hotplug kernel support
-  * //lsdev// - shows hardware including IRQ info, I/O ports and DMA channels
-  *  //lspci [-t] [-vv]// - info about system’s PCI buses and installed PCI devices
-  * A module is dynamically linked into the running kernel when it is loaded
-    * //insmod/rmmod// - insert/remove mocule, no dependency checking
-    * //modprobe [-r] [-a] [-t type]// - list, insert or remove modules. Does dependency checking.
-    * //lsmod// - list modules //modinfo module-object-file.o// - info about a module file
-  * sysfs is a RAM-based filesystem derived from ramfs. It provides a means to export kernel data structures to  user space. // mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys//
-  * The udev process uses sysfs info to create dynamic device files as kernel modules are loaded. /etc/udev.d holds rules to be applied when adding or removing a device.
-  * D-Bus is an IPC system that uses sysfs to implement a message bus daemon used for broadcasting system events e.g.“new device added” or “printer queue changed”.
-  * hal was a hw abstraction layer (hw access API) on top of udev using D-Bus. It has been deprecated and rolled into udev and the kernel.

   * Check boot events in the log file
   * Terms: /var/log/messages, dmesg, BIOS, bootloader, kernel, init
-== Notes ==
-  * Boot Loader (LILO or GRUB) launches the linux kernel, passing kernel parameters if needed (/etc/lilo.conf | /boot/grub/menu.lst | /boot/grub/grub.conf)
-  * Module options (as well as aliases and post-install and pre-remove actions) are stored in /etc/modules.conf .
-  * //dmesg// displays kernel messages logged at last system boot.
-  * // /var/log/messages // contains all syslog messages.
 === 101.3 Change runlevels and shutdown or reboot system (LCN-4 CTL-5) ===
@@ Line 71: / Line 31: @@
   * Knowledge of basic features of systemd and Upstart
   * Terms: /etc/inittab, shutdown, init, /etc/init.d, telinit
-== Notes ==
-  * When linux boots, first process is the //init// process which selects and switches to default runlevel.
-  * Runlevels - 0=shutdown, 1/s/S=single-user_maintenance, 2=multi-user, 3=multi-user_no-X, 5=multi-user_with-X 6=reboot
-  * On Debian, 2 is default and 3,5 are not used. On Redhat, 3 is the default.
