SystemTap Redpaper

I participated in an IBM Redbook assignment recently with a small team (3 of us). The paper is called: SystemTap: Instrumenting the Linux Kernel for Analyzing Performance and Functional Problems. If you are interested, check it out at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4469.html. I was really impressed with the Redbook process and this was a very enjoyable experience for me to work with two guys from Brazil on this. As with anything, it always seems like time is too short and so much more I wanted to do, but I guess that's just my personality.
