- I've been trying to find some basic information about how the Amiga's
- file system and operating system differ from other PC operating systems.
- I understand there have been some real improvements to the FFS and something
- called directory caching (please, I really don't know anything about this
- stuff).
- added to 2.1. What does it do? How does the Amiga store and organize files?
- What is good/bad/indifferent about it?
- Also, what exactly is intuition, the ROM kernel and so on? If this is an FAQ,
- where can I get this information (yes I know, another "where can I find..."
- posting).
-
- Any takers? I'd prefer if you don't mind a description of what it does in a
- little
- detail rather than just "it multitasks" or something similar.
-
- Thanks very much!
