are available</a> (<a href=http://linux.dell.com/files/presentations/Ottawa_Linux_Symposium_2008/>and more</a>), including tutorial and BOF sessions for which no
paper was required.</p>

<h2><a href="ols2008v1-pages-9-18.pdf">x86 Network Booting: Integrating gPXE and PXELINUX</a> - <b>H. Peter Anvin</b></h2>
<p>History of network booting (TFTP/BOOTP and NBI predated PXE, which is
the network booting standard published by Intel in 1997 and supported by
most BIOSes today).  History of SYSLINUX (contains PXELINUX) and Etherboot
(precursor to gPXE).</p>

<p>PXE has three parts.  The first two (some low-level base code, and a network
driver) are saved in the firmware.  They fetch a "Network Boot Program" (NBP),
from the network, which is a small loader which can call the network driver
out of the firmware to load the rest of the operating system.  Using gPXE with
PXELINUX generally means using gPXE to provide the base code and network driver
in the firmware (for use with things like OpenBios), and loading PXELINUX to
act as an NBP.</p>

<p>Ends with issues related to two projects working together.</P>

<h2><a href="ols2008v1-pages-19-30.pdf">Keeping the Linux Kernel Honest</a> - <b>Kamalesh Babulal, Balbir Singh</b></h2>

<p>Automated testing for the Linux kernel.  Linux Test Project,
Fault Injection Framework, IBM's proprietary "Automated Build And Test" server,
etc.</p>

<h2><a href="ols2008v1-pages-31-38.pdf">Korset: Automated, Zero False-Alarm Intrusion Detection for Linux</a> - <b>Ohad Ben-Cohen, Avishai Wool</b></h2>

<p>An open source project that uses static analysis to construct a model
of application behavior (control flow graphs).</p>

<p>[Some significant oversimplifications in this one.  As far as I can tell,
"it interprets Javascript" would count as "self modifying code".  Being
written in something like Python would fundamentally invalidate the assumptions
too.  The technique is aimed at non-kernel C code that doesn't implement
an interpreter for another language.]
