How to start

How to start

[Eugene K]

For many years I've been involved in OS/kernel and
network development on various platforms (including
Intel86) and OSes, but I am totally new to Linux. What
would be an optimal way for somebody like me to learn
both Linux driver development and Linux Kernel
internals ?

Hit http://www.dit.upm.es/~jmseyas/linux/kernel/hackers-docs.html - has a good 
selection of dead-tree and online references.  The kernel-janitors project - 
http://www.kerneljanitors.org/ - is a good starting point; that's where a lot of 
kernel hackers get their start.

this has been very recently asked on the list. some of the suggested answers were:

books:

. linux kernel development by robert love
. linux device drivers by Alessandro Rubini and Jonathan Corbet.
. understanding linux kernel by Daniel P. Bovet and Marco Cesati.

(last two will have new editions soon covering 2.6 kernels)

regards,
pedro venda.

What about http://kernelnewbies.org/?
I'm also extremely new in the kernel-programming scene (have done my
first post to lkml just two days ago ;-) ) and I tried to start there...

LDD3 (by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini, and Greg Kroah-Hartman)
will, it is hoped, be ready to be the star of the show at LinuxWorld in
Boston, next month.  The online release will, as usual, take some time
to prepare; I can't predict just when that will be.
