Re: learning the kernel

["Dequan Yang" <wolfsnow33@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose the following books will help you:
1. Linux Kernel Development
   This book tells you the general theory of Linux kernel(2.6.10), very useful at the beginning:-)

2. Understanding Linux Kernel 
  This books is more detail on the alogrithms and data structure of Linux 2.6 kernel.

3. Linux Device Drivers
  This book is no need to say more:-)

In addition, if you want to know more about the architecture of your computer, please see: 
Computer Syetem:A Programmer's Perspective
This book explain hardware in a programmers' perspective,enjoy your kernel journey!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to understand the linux kernel
as a whole first, and then on digging deeper into the details? As of now
I'm learning details first(ex: load re-balancer, task_struct, etc...),
and it seems rather slow going, and a tad overwhelming to memorize
without understanding were the details are going.

Thanks for any help,
Lazlo
