   <div class="exercise">

<b>Exploration 1.</b> Use <tt>top</tt> and <tt>ps</tt> or other tools to examine
how the resources are being used on your computer.  Try running some
programs like a web browser, playing a video, and running a large system
build (for example, you try building Rust from source code from <a
href="https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git"><em>https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git)</em></a>).
While you do, watch which processes are getting to run and which are
sleeping.

Is your operating system doing a good job allocating resources?
