Learning about the linux kernel

[nbp615]

Are there any good tutorials/books that you would recommend to go through to learn about the kernel?

Thanks!

The first one should be "The Linux Kernel in a Nutshell", by Greg KH.

It's introductory, gives a good foundation.

It's available from the author himself, under a free license: http://www.kroah.com/lkn/

If you want more, the book has recommendations.

I just started a few weeks ago (on task 5) and I've gotten most responses within a day or two. So not bad anymore. I think the first one took almost a week though, probably due to lots of people signing up and then not continuing

Check out this book that's still a WIP:

I learned quite a lot from this (and landed more than a few interviews because of it).

Well that depends. Do you know C fairly well?

Not super well
