Reader Reviews
The book "Undestanding the Linux Kernel", explains clearly the inner workings of the current 2.6 Linux kernel. The presentation is at a considerable level of detail, the authors fully describe the important data structures, and the significant chunks of code. The book is indispensable to any serious Linux kernel developer. However, it can be used also at the context of an "Operating Systems Design" academic course and the students can learn a lot from the technologically advanced Linux 2.6 kernel implementation and can modify/recompile and install their own version! The level of the book is advanced and I recommend concurrently with it, the reader to study also the book: "Linux kernel development" by Robert Love that presents the algorithms also very clearly, but with a more academic view, without zooming to all the implementation concerns. I own both books and by studing them, I can have the significant experience of customizing the source code of the superior Linux 2.6 kernel.
