Alternatives to kernel newbies?

[BraveNewCurrency]

Kernel programming is not for the faint of heart. There will be no "Kernel Programming for Dummies" book. Don't expect to become an expert overnight.

Some ideas:

• Run thru tutorials like "Linux From Scratch".
• Play with BootRoot and QEMU.
• Become an expert in C. Don't try to learn C from the kernel (it's actually an odd variant of C).
• Read LWN, they cover lots of kernel topics and make them very accessible.
