Re: Technical background level in some sections
Thank you for your comments!
I don't consider section 5.4.3 as a mere extra information for the curious. The aim of this section is to dispel some possible mystique surrounding processes. I think it's beneficial to have a bit more concrete feeling about how processes are internally scheduled, but I tried not to go too deep.
However I do agree that it's a non-actionable section, and I'll consider swapping that one and 5.4.4, so it becomes the last section in the chapter (except for summary).
Good catch about binaries and distributed systems! I'll think about adding a small note here, or mention it in chapter 11 where distributed systems are treated.
