+
+  Since its inception, Unix was a huge innovation in Operating Systems market.
+  Its main features include \textit{multitasking} and \textit{multi-user}
+  support, a programming interface, \textit{files as abstractions} for devices
+  and other objects and a powerful \textit{shell} that facilitates program
+  composition.
+
+\subsubsection{The Kernel}
+  In the Unix model, the Kernel, the core of the Operating System, is
+  responsible for managing the hardware resources. For that job, it uses
+  several concepts that systems designers and programmers are familiarized with
+  and are discouraged to change. Those include \textit{virtual memory},
+  \textit{processes}, \textit{shared-memory threads}, \textit{hierarchical
+  filesystems} and \textit{system calls}.
+
+\subsubsection{The Shell}
   The shell is run as a userspace program that has the hability to launch other
   programs using an outdated fork+exec mechanism that encourages memory
   overshoot\cite{fork:Baumann}.

-\subsection{Language interpreters}
+\subsubsection{Userspace programs}
+  ELF/Mach-O/EXE -> the kernel acts as an interpreter for them.
+  Virtual memory separates one program from another.
+  The CPU helps with that.
+  Each program is a process (invented concept)
+  Each process can launch threads \cite{Threads:Lee}
+\paragraph{Language interpreters}
   Language interpreters are run as userspace programs.
 
-\subsection{Hardware}
+\subsection{Computer hardware}
   Computer processors, often marketed as "\textit{general purpose}", are based
   on the von Newmann model\cite{LiberateFromVonNeumann:Backus}, a CPU and a
   Store that is, and designed for running an Operating System on them. They
