I do love me some strace. It's one of those commands I talk about when asked why I prefer Linux as a developer/hacker.

Do you mean you prefer Linux over Windows?

If so, then watch this talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgmA48fILq8

Now you will prefer Solaris/BSD to Linux :)

That was a great talk, too great for just an upvote. Thanks!

To others considering watching it, the speaker is willing to indulge himself in a bit of self-absorbed wankery, but he gets most of that out of the way in the first 10 minutes, and gets down to the useful business of "here's an example problem, and here's a solution".

Impressive. I want to use DTrace on Linux. And it seems that in the meantime it is available on Linux http://liberumvir.com/2012/06/01/zfs-and-dtrace-running-on-u...

Cool thanks!

Edit: I'm listening to it now and it's excellent.
